Texas SoS is a Republican appointed by Greg Abbott so don’t hold your breath.
Seriously, the only hope here is that Abbot is fed up with Paxton and ready to throw him under the bus, and that hope is so unlikely it borders on hallucination.
yeah but if he gets elected to federal office he’s out of hot wheels’ hair
They’re making them do that to develop pattern or practice (monell(sp?)) and thus conspiracy to commit a federal crime.
He literally admitted on camera in an interview with Steve Bannon that he threw away 2.5 million votes in the 2020 election, and that Biden would have won Texas if he had not done that.
Fuck Paxton , But that’s not what happened. He blocked 2.4 million mail in ballot applications from being sent. Hes still a piece of shit though and I hope talarico beats the hell out of him.
The link you gave confirms what I said, but their conclusion is that it was incorrect, which is a bit… weird.
A lawsuit and state Supreme Court ruling that specifically causes voter disenfranchisement by throwing away 2.5 (or 2.4) million votes or voter registration roles has the exact same effect as what I said.
He didn’t throw away 2.4 million votes. Harris county (voter population: 2.4 million) wanted to expand voting options, Paxton prevented that, as in the mail-in ballots were never sent out.
1.6 million people in Harris county still voted in the 2020 election. That’s a voter turnout of 68.14%. The state of Texas had a voter turnout of 60.8%.
Then I stand corrected. It is still voter disenfranchisement, though, especially during COVID.
It’s Ken Paxton. A crime was probably committed. But no R-pilled bureaucratic Rexas is gonna do squat about it in Texas.
If anyone has an R after their name, they probably need to be looked into. Lots of reasons. Treason. Corruption. Pedophilia.
That’s all. We don’t need to go after their politics, as reprehensible as they are, their actual crimes will keep us plenty busy, we won’t have any need to be making things up.
I have never read a more naive and quaint headline about Ken Paxton
