This nomination goes to whoever is running the Texas Secretary of State’s office, which currently lacks an official occupant of the chair. Why?
The Texas secretary of state’s office announced late Thursday that it has begun a “full forensic audit” of the 2020 general election in four Texas counties: Collin, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant. But the statement from that agency did not explain what prompted the move.
There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Texas in 2020. And earlier this year, an official for the agency called the 2020 election in Texas “smooth and secure.”
Sam Taylor, a spokesperson for the office, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The announcement came hours after Republican former President Donald Trump requested Gov. Greg Abbott add an election audit bill to this year’s third special session. While Trump lost his reelection bid, he did win in Texas. [The Texas Tribune]
Hey, the dude said frog – so let’s hop!
How embarrassing. No, the former President did not lose Texas; in fact, he won it by more than expected. For whatever ridiculous reason Trump is making up, Texas the Texas GOP is more than happy to spend money taxpayer money on it.
Hop, dudes, hop! Or he’ll step on us!
The dangers of political patronage.
