Just as offensive, Ken Paxton is trying to make it more difficult to register to vote than it is to renew a driver's license on-line. ... We should make it easier to vote, not harder."<ref name=jeremyw/> ''The San Antonio Express-News'' argued that Paxton has made it more difficult for voters to register: "Voter apathy is a big problem in our state.
