In an appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast Friday, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton–who’s in a fight to keep his job with George P. Bush, both of whom are wooing Donald Trump’s endorsement–said that he filed a dozen lawsuits fighting mail-in voting in 2020 to ensure Texas stayed a Trump state.
“And just knowing that we had twelve lawsuits that we had to win. And if we had lost one of them, if we’d lost Harris County — Trump won by 620,000 votes in Texas. Harris County mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million, those were all illegal and we were able to stop every one of them,” Paxton said.
“Had we not done that, we would have been in the very same situation. We would’ve been on Election Day–I was watching on election night and I knew, when I saw what was happening in these other states, that that would’ve been Texas. We would’ve been in the same boat. We would’ve been one of those battleground states that they were counting votes in Harris County for three days and Donald Trump would’ve lost the election.”
