DALLAS (AP) — The Texas bar association is investigating whether state Attorney General Ken Paxton’s failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on bogus claims of fraud amounted to professional misconduct.
...
Kevin Moran, the 71-year-old president of the Galveston Island Democrats, shared his complaint with The Associated Press along with letters from the State Bar of Texas and the Board of Disciplinary Appeals that confirm the investigation. He said Paxton’s efforts to dismiss other states’ election results was a wasteful embarrassment for which the attorney general should lose his law license.

“He wanted to disenfranchise the voters in four other states,” said Moran. “It’s just crazy.”

Hopefully, this will help us see the end of Paxton as Texas AG. And will help the US DOJ look carefully at the way the GOP has attempted to steal votes.

Republican lawmakers in Texas are scrambling as their already-flawed voter suppression bill falls apart at the seams. Some of the features that critics were most concerned about may not end up in the final version at all because of the state Democrats' efforts.

"Republicans are COMPLETELY UNPREPARED to defend the substance of the bill and are abandoning major provisions," Legum tweeted. "First, the GOP claimed the ban on Sunday voting before 1PM was a typo This isn't credible because they defended the ban as the bill was debated But [it's] out."
He added, "Now Republicans are scrapping a provision to allow Texas judges to void an election based on thin evidence of fraud ....

Meanwhile the US AG, Merrick Garland has promised that the DoJ will expand investigations of GOP attempts to to suppress voting. Plus apparently a number of lawsuits are now being contemplated in Texas against all of this attempts to make hit harder to vote.

Stayed tuned for more fireworks.
