Greg Abbots administration is thoroughly corrupt.

(26,168 posts)3. Paxton's 6th Amendment rights have been egregiously violated.
He was indicted seven years ago on felony securities fraud charges. It's ridiculous to make the man wait this long for a trial.

These continued attacks on our fair and free election system are beyond meritless, beyond reckless -- they are a scheme by the President of the United States and some in the Republican party to disregard the will of the people-- and name their own victors.

It's asking SCOTUS to let legislatures decide who won an extraordinarily extreme ask rooted in baseless voter fraud conspiracies that numerous judges have repeatedly rejected https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/admin/2020/Press/SCOTUSFiling.pdf?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=
