Isn’t this spearheaded by the same Texas AG who might need a pardon, and is pursuing the narrative that the presidential election was stolen?

Yes, Kex Paxton is a massive scumbag. It seems the people that work for him did good work here though.

Agreed - I detest Paxton, but this case seems legitimate and if these allegations can be proven in court, wow.

What does that have to do with anything?

AG track records speak to their motives. Normally it shouldn't matter, but this AG is particularly corrupt, so much so that seven staff have quit and blew the whistle.

It's surprising that anything involving him resulted in a well reasoned argument.

Attorneys-General typically have other attorneys working for them.

Cause some people might not be convinced he's out there fighting for the little guy, a week after trying to undermine democracy.

About half the people in the US think he was trying to uphold democracy by removing all doubt that a free and fair election occurred.

I don't care either way, but I wanted to point that out.

Their own party is an ardent supporter of inviolable states' rights. Apparently only when it is convenient for them.

He might not be fighting for the little guy, but that doesn't mean that their interests in this particular case don't align.

Credibility is important.
