And Paxton was outvoted on election day, which usually sees stronger Republican turnout, in what used to be a red bastion.
He was a complete turd of a candidate though. Good job on forcing his candidacy through Trump.
They put so much effort into undermining his corruption charges that they believed he was bulletproof. Glad to see them make this mistake.
Why do reds think it's some kind necessity to avoid voting unless it is only on the election's deadline day?
Because Trump and MAGA spent a bunch of time attacking mail in voting.
Except for Trump always voting by mail....
Yeah they’re hypocrites.
If it weren't for double standards, he'd have no standards at all!
They are retired mostly and its been a habit for 50 years.
That Ken Paxton mother fucker has the most smug looking face I've ever seen.
To be fair he is particularly hateable, even among Texas politicians. Who takes their affair partner on vacation during a campaign after convincing their wife to call off the divorce? Ted Cruz is popular compared to him.
Trump and maga will point to this as evidence of fraud somehow
Paxton on the morning of November 3rd...
