A Texas court has temporarily blocked the release of documents revealing who funded a wave of mailers and ads aimed at stoking voter anxiety ahead of the midterm elections. The legal move comes as transparency advocates argue public records should not be withheld during such a critical electoral period. The case centers on whether the state’s open records law applies to political spending tied to voter intimidation campaigns. Election officials and watchdog groups now face uncertainty over whether key financial details will surface before ballots are cast.
