In 2020, without evidence and in conjunction with Trump’s coup attempt, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania to overturn the 2020 federal elections. There have been no consequences.
In 2022, Ken Paxton unsuccessfully tried to indict and jail Democratic election workers. There have been no consequences.
We can talk about a litany of allegations of crimes and corruption Paxton has faced over the years, each time he skates through consequence-free.
When Paxton was impeached in 2023 for accepting bribes and abuse of office in an act of nearly equal corruption, the Senate acquitted him despite the evidence backing up the charges. When they did that, they emboldened him to continue his reign of corruption and election tampering.
Paxton’s actions in South Texas last week are what Republicans call “election interference.”
