Lawsuit halts Texas’ $3 billion dementia fund
Three Texas voters filed a lawsuit challenging uncertified voting machines that blocked a $3 billion dementia research fund approved by nearly 70% of voters, delaying its implementation.
- On Nov. 13, Shannon Huggins, Lars Kuslich and Jose Silvester filed a Travis County suit against the Texas Secretary of State's office, challenging this month's election and alleging uncertified voting machines.
- Representing themselves without lawyers, the plaintiffs did not explain why they targeted only Proposition 14, though Huggins and Kuslich have challenged voting machines before.
- Patrick argued the suit was 'lawsuit abuse' and said it harms roughly 500,000 Texans suffering from dementia.
- The suit has temporarily stopped DPRIT constitutional amendment from taking effect despite its passage with nearly 70% of the vote, and if upheld, certified results could be voided and a new election ordered.
- State officials said it was surprising that no other propositions were challenged, and Jose Silvester joined Shannon Huggins and Lars Kuslich in the Nov. 13 filing, which faces expedited state legal process review.
