Texas launches review of 2020 election, hours after Trump call
Quote
Texas’ secretary of state office announced it had launched a review of the 2020 election in four of the state’s largest counties on Thursday evening, hours after former President Donald Trump sent an open letter to GOP Gov. Greg Abbott demanding one.

The secretary of state office said a “full and comprehensive forensic audit” had begun in Dallas, Harris, Tarrant and Collin counties. It was not immediately clear what the exact process of the review would be. “Forensic audit” is not a well-defined term among election experts, but Trump and his supporters have latched on to it in an effort to further his lies about his electoral loss in 2020.

The office did not release any further details about the process, other than it expected the Legislature to provide funds for it. President Joe Biden carried Dallas, Harris and Tarrant last November, while Trump carried Collin en route to his statewide win.

I'm pretty sure they are thinking, "We need something to distract from AZ" and "Abbot and the Texas legislature will play ball and make sure they come up with something".

Plot twist: they discover tens of thousands of discarded Biden votes in the RGV and are forced to switch state's 2020 result to D.

The TX GOP(and Faux News), soon: "Trump won one of them, so that proves we're absolutely not doing it for partisan reasons!"

He didn't win Collin by much though, so that could be a reason why they're targeting it.

This is why I'm skeptical of Republicans being able to make big gains in 2022 (though I think they take back both House and Senate) and their ability to win at all in 2024 unless it's by the skin of their teeth. It's blatantly obvious to me that they're only interested in fighting last year's battles that no one cares about anymore. Biden and the Democrats are hurting because their failings are at the center of attention right now, but mark my words, if the primaries come along and all Republicans do is scream at each other about how mean everyone was to Trump back in 2017, then their chances will go down the drain.

This is a disgraceful insult to the Biden voters who made their wishes very clear. In particular, it doesn't make the many split-ticket voters there feel positively to their local Republicans. It makes it a lot harder for them to persuade people they have changed, if they refuse to even hear what people were telling them.

If trump is asking for this audit, then let's be real. Let's actually call it what it is: trump's further deteriorating mental health problem.

Nobody could do all the things he does and be considered sane. He needs to be treated and his followers need to stop with the denying.
