Judges Sharon Keller, Michelle Slaughter, and Barbara Hervey lost to Paxton-backed challengers on Tuesday after stripping the Texas attorney general of his authority to pursue voter fraud cases.
‘If you can do impeachments like this and you can have mail-in ballots, we don’t have democracy,’ the Texas attorney general said. ‘We have control by a few people.’
The Republican candidate for governor, who was defeated by Democrat Katie Hobbs in November, had six of her seven claims rejected in her election dispute, but the court ruled that Lake may make a case regarding her seventh claim and that all parties must submit additional written arguments by March 28.
'The allegations of election improprieties in our state's largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct. Voters in Harris County deserve to know what happened.'
