Less than 24 hours after Attorney General Ken Paxton clinched the Republican nomination for his re-election, the Texas State Bar sued him Wednesday over his “dishonest” attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

The short, four-page lawsuit, filed in district court in Paxton’s hometown of Collin County, contains identical claims to those in litigation filed earlier this month against Paxton’s top deputy, First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster. Paxton violated the bar’s rules of professional conduct by including false and misleading statements, according to the association.

“His allegations were not supported by any charge, indictment, judicial finding, and/or credible or admissible evidence, and failed to disclose to the Court that some of his representations and allegations had already been adjudicated and/or dismissed in a court of law,” the suit reads, referring to a number of voter fraud claims that had already been debunked at the time Paxton filed his petition......

“It’s a very strong complaint by the bar,” said Jim Harrington, a Texas lawyer who co-signed Ratner’s complaint and who founded the Texas Civil Rights Project, a nonprofit that advocates for voting rights. “I think they hit the nail on the head, and hopefully we’ll see justice as a result of that.”

The four battleground states that Texas sued — Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — were then forced to spend time, money and other resources responding to these claims, the suit said.
