    He literally admitted on camera in an interview with Steve Bannon that he threw away 2.5 million votes in the 2020 election, and that Biden would have won Texas if he had not done that.

        The link you gave confirms what I said, but their conclusion is that it was incorrect, which is a bit… weird.

        A lawsuit and state Supreme Court ruling that specifically causes voter disenfranchisement by throwing away 2.5 (or 2.4) million votes or voter registration roles has the exact same effect as what I said.

          He didn’t throw away 2.4 million votes. Harris county (voter population: 2.4 million) wanted to expand voting options, Paxton prevented that, as in the mail-in ballots were never sent out.

          1.6 million people in Harris county still voted in the 2020 election. That’s a voter turnout of 68.14%. The state of Texas had a voter turnout of 60.8%.
