Paxton’s lawsuit claims that a get-out-the-vote advertisement campaign from Harris County’s office essentially constitutes reverse racism because it encouraged Black and Latino voters (groups with historically lower access to elections) to vote. Harris County is Texas’s most diverse county, notably housing Houston.

Technically what they mean by that is racism against white people. You can't simply call it racism because depending on who you ask, you can't actually be racist against white people.

But if there are already a lot of white people voting and black and latino voters have lower turnout, I fail to see how that would even qualify as reverse racism.
