Texas AG's office sues Harris County clerk over get-out-the-vote ads it calls 'racially discriminatory'
Lawsuit seeks order to pull or reconfigure Meta ads aimed at Black, Latino and Asian voters; county calls suit a 'pathetic political distraction'
The Texas Attorney General's Office sued the Harris County clerk on Thursday over get-out-of-the-vote ads it described as "racially discriminatory" because they targeted Black, Latino and Asian voters while excluding "European ethnicities," and asked a judge to order the social media ads pulled or reconfigured to remove racial and ethnic targeting.
