This is WILD, John:
Newsweek:
''Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, said former President Donald Trump would have lost in Texas in the 2020 election if his office had not successfully blocked counties from mailing out applications for mail-in ballots to all registered voters.''
Ken Paxton is one of the most anti-democratic politicians in Texas, if not the country. Now he's effectively admitted -- to Steve Bannon on the latter's podcast, no less -- that his push against mail-in ballots in the 2020 election was entirely political.
You probably won't be surprised to learn that Paxton supports the Republican effort to make voting in Texas (which already has the country’s most stringent requirements) even more difficult.
But you may not know this about Paxton: First, his former aides have accused him of bribery and a "bizarre, obsessive use of power." And second, he sits on the Texas Legislative Redistricting Board, which means that if he stays in office, he could play a critical role in this year's redistricting.
That's unacceptable, John. Will you add your name to our petition telling Attorney General Ken Paxton to resign immediately?
