Dear John,
The right to safely cast your vote this November is of fundamental importance, and ADL is working to protect that right. We were pleased to see a victory for voters this week in Texas.

Our Southwest regional office and the Texas NAACP filed a brief to defend the authority of the Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, who faced a lawsuit from the Texas Attorney General to block Hollins’ plan to send ballot-by-mail applications and voting information to all 2.4 million registered voters in Harris County. On Sept. 11, a district judge ruled against the lawsuit by the Texas Attorney General, rejecting the argument that the planned mailing exceeded the County Clerk’s authority.
Harris County is the most populous county in Texas and is one of the largest and most diverse voting jurisdictions in the United States.
Hollins’ mailings will provide easier access to safe voting for high-risk populations for COVID-19 and provide accurate information and guidance to voters about the changes in voting necessitated by the pandemic. You can
