Harris County, home to the city of Houston, wanted to mail out applications for mail-in ballots to its approximately 2.4 million registered voters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conservative Texas Supreme Court blocked the county from doing so after it faced litigation from Paxton's office. "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 [sic] and we were able to stop every one of them," Paxton told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon during the latter's War Roompodcast on Friday.

I don’t know just how true the math actually is — but I would expect him to use this and other crap as a reason for him to not be removed from office in his forthcoming Impeachment trial.

One has to wonder just how much is going to come out during the trial.
