Unlike states, counties are creations of the state government. If we look at how states like California, Colorado, and Arizona have been seized by leftist Democrats, the pattern is one of radical Democrats, like Rahm Emanuel and Brandon Johnson, replaced old school Democrats of the Daley machine in Chicago. Most large American cities had been Democrat run since the early 1900s, and cultural Marxists were able to capture the Democratic machines, through infiltration and financial support from people like George Soros. Controlling the urban counties enable the Left to inflate voter totals, using the same ballot box stuffing that the Daley machine was infamous for. Combined with cultural and demographic changes, the two party system has effectively been destroyed in a dozen states.
If Texas falls to the Democrats, the American nation is dead. The Democrats in Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Travis, Tarrant, and El Paso Counties are very willing to do what their counterparts have done on the West Coast, Illinois, Michigan, and the Northeast. Florida cracked down on voter fraud under DeSantis, and a once purple state is now redder than Texas. Attorney General Paxton needs to replicate what Florida has done, and with the defeat of the RINOs on the court, he may be able to do so.
Texas has a constitution that creates Paxton’s office and defines its powers. It does not grant him the power to conduct criminal prosecutions without the DA’s consent.
The case that motivated Paxton to fund the primary challengers had nothing to do with anything you wrote here.
