The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a civil rights group that sued the state, called the governor's proclamation a "blatant act of discrimination."

“Governor Greg Abbott is trying to prey on the fear of the pandemic which will keep Hispanics from wanting to risk their lives by going to the polls in person," LULAC president Domingo Garcia said in a statement issued Friday. "Instead, they and many other qualified, legal voters prefer to safeguard their well-being by dropping off their ballot at authorized locations near them and today’s injunction guarantees they will be able to do so."
