Newly-appointed Texas secretary of state briefly worked with TFG to challenge the 2020 election
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday appointed a secretary of state who briefly worked with former President Donald Trump to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania.
The new secretary of state, John Scott, will manage elections in the Lone Star State at a time when the state has been in the national spotlight over its restrictive election law that was implemented after Trump's 2020 election loss.
The appointment also comes as Trump has pushed for an audit of the Texas presidential results, despite the former president winning the state by nearly 6 points last year, along with GOP legislators proposing a controversial redistricting proposal that voting rights advocates contend would dilute the electoral strength of the state's burgeoning minority population.
Scott, a Fort Worth attorney who was employed by Abbott when the Republican governor was the Texas attorney general, will lead a limited review of the 2020 election results in populous Collin, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant counties. Of the three counties, Trump won Collin, while Biden won the three latter jurisdictions.
