.thereidout Blog: Gov. Abbott is trying to make Texas into a pro-Trump utopia.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott appointed as secretary of state John Scott, a lawyer who briefly represented former President Donald Trump in one of his bogus election fraud lawsuits.released Thursday, Abbott said,"John understands the importance of protecting the integrity of our elections and building the Texas brand on an international stage."
Reading the tea leaves, it’s easy to see the “brand” Abbott wants his new secretary of state to help establish for Texas is an undemocratic one.. In a letter calling for the investigations last month, Trump told Abbott, “Texas needs you to act now.”The Republican-led Texas Legislature is also doing its part to remake the state in Trump’s image. A new redistricting map proposed by the Legislature, despite the fact that people of color fueled Texas’ population growth in recent years.
Nonetheless, Abbott’s mission of making Texas into a fail-proof state for Trump and pro-Trump conservatives is well underway.
