Whether Texas's prohibition on compensating individuals who assist voters with disabilities or limited English proficiency violates Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act

Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act provides that “[a]ny voter who requires assistance to vote by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write may be given assistance by a person of the voter’s choice,” with certain specific enumerated exceptions. 52 U.S.C. § 10508 . Texas passed a state statute that makes it a crime “to compensate another person for assisting voters” who vote by mail or to “solicit[], receive[], or accept[ ] compensation for” doing so. See Tex. Elec. Code § 86.0105 . The Texas statute undisputedly makes it a crime for the staffers or compensated volunteers of social service organizations to assist voters with disabilities or voters who are unable to read or write proficiently in English who request their assistance to vote by mail . Does the Texas statute run afoul of Section 208 ?
