“If you had a real Justice Department, Ken Paxton would be in handcuffs, not just for his corruption, but for what he’s done to your right to vote. We have laws against this.”
— Greg Palast speaking to Thom Hartmann on the Sept 30, 2026 edition of The Hartmann Report
*****
In 2020, the Attorney General of Texas confessed to stealing the vote for Donald Trump in Texas. “Confess” is the wrong word, I suppose, because on the Steve Bannon podcast, Ken Paxton proudly crowed about his felonious attack on Black voters. It’s unbelievable, but if you watch our video, you’ll have to believe your eyes and ears.
Paxton, not coincidentally, is running for the US Senate in Texas against James Talarico. Control of the Senate, control of our future, may come down to this Texas ballot robbery scheme.
Here’s a bit of Paxton’s boasting confession:
“Trump won by 620,000 votes in Texas. Harris County [Houston] mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million. Those were all ‘illegal,’ and we were able to stop every one of them. Had we not done that, Donald Trump would have lost the election.”
What few Americans know is that Houston, Harris County, has the largest Black population in the USA. Not Detroit nor Atlanta nor DC. If a candidate loses Houston big, they lose Texas.
The only way Texas stays Red is if they can block the Black vote in Houston. (And no, Mr. Paxton, sending ballots to Black people is not “illegal.”)
So, just eliminate mail-in voting and force Black voters to wait in line for hours and hours, and hey, you’ve kept the state Red.
And it’s not just Texas.
