Less than 24 hours after Attorney General Ken Paxton clinched the Republican nomination for his re-election, the Texas State Bar sued him Wednesday over his “dishonest” attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Attorney General Ken Paxton talks with supporters during his election night watch party at Wilco Work Space in Cedar Park, Texas, Tuesday, May 24, 2022.
The four battleground states that Texas sued — Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — were then forced to spend time, money and other resources responding to these claims, the suit said. Wednesday’s legal action came as a result of five complaints filed by private citizens, including Gary Ratner, a Maryland attorney and co-founder of the group Lawyers Defending American Democracy, and Kevin Moran, a Democratic Party activist in Galveston.
