“Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Attorney General Ken Paxton, will not be allowed to cast a vote in the impeachment trial that could lead to her husband’s permanent removal from office, the senate decided Wednesday under rules for the historic proceedings.

The decision settles a question that has loomed over the Texas Capitol since Ken Paxton last month became just the third sitting official to be impeached in Texas’ nearly 200-year history.”

That makes sense. No matter which way she voted it would be a conflict of interest.

Perhaps the majority of Republican senators got the word that she would vote against her husband. So they are stopping her from voting.
