Abbott may not want to do this because if any fraud, it would no doubt be committed by republicans. How about we do Kentucky instead.

Abbott is such an asshole and wimp that we may see audit in Texas

My high school debate coach/civics teacher has a saying that is applicable-"No true Texan can sleep soundly while the Texas legis is in session




Former President Donald Trump has asked Gov. Greg Abbott to add an election audit bill to this year’s third special session, continuing his push to cast doubts on the election results of the 2020 presidential election despite winning in Texas.

In a letter published Thursday, Trump said, “Texans have big questions about the November 2020 Elections,” and time is running out to conduct an audit of the “2020 Presidential Election Scam” because paper ballots are kept for only 22 months after an election.

“Governor Abbott, we need a ‘Forensic Audit of the 2020 Election’ added to the call,” Trump wrote. “We’re quickly running out of time and it must be done this week.”

There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and the Texas secretary of state who oversaw the 2020 election and was appointed by the Republican governor declared the election “smooth and secure.”

During a special session, the governor sets the topics the Legislature is to pass laws on. Abbott did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Don Huffines, one of his challengers in the GOP primary for governor next year, has called for election audits to be added to the call.

I read that whole thing. WHY? Why would they want to audit? Or is this setting up the future viability of auditing future elections that are less beneficial to them?

I do not understand this at all!
