Texas Republicans are doubling down on claims that Democrats in the states biggest cities are attempting to steal an election thats showing the GOPs lead in Senate and presidential races increasingly narrowing.
State GOP leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton are targeting the states large urban counties including its most populous Harris County which they have made the focus of allegations of a grand Democratic conspiracy to steal the 2024 election.
On Tuesday, Abbott announced that his office had removed more than 1 million ineligible voters from state rolls, including more than 6,500 noncitizens, of which the governors office claimed that almost 2,000 have cast votes,
Abbott added that those cases would be referred to prosecution to Paxtons office which has been on its own campaign against alleged voter fraud as of late.
Paxton falsely told right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck last Thursday that President Biden and Vice President Harris, now at the top of the ticket, had worked to move masses of undocumented voters into critical states to vote illegally claims he did not back up with any basis.
