Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton says attorneys ready to litigate election results
Nov 05, 2024
After keeping poll watchers sent by the U.S. Justice Department out of Texas polling stations, Texas Attorney General Paxton now warns his office's Election Day Rapid Response Team is ready to "address litigation" arising from voting. "The Election Day Rapid Response Legal Team will be equipped to enforce Texas election laws and take immediate action on any contingencies, including issues seen in previous cycles such as ballot shortages, extended polling location closures, and improper extension of voting hours," Paxton, a Republican and vehement Trump ally, wrote on social media platform X.
