The Texas GOP says a majority of the nearly 5,000 delegates to their convention in Houston overwhelmingly approved a resolution disputing the results of the 2020 Presidential election.
The resolution says,"We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the U.S. Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020... We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
TCU Political Science Professor Jim Riddlesperger said the Republicans' emphasis on elections integrity will put pressure on both Democrats and Republicans. On Friday, delegates booed Senator John Cornyn, who has led Senate Republican negotiations with Democrats on potential legislation after the deadly mass shooting in Uvalde.
Among the other top legislative priorities, abolishing abortion in Texas, protecting the electric grid, and banning gender modification of children.They include having the legislature eventually replace the property tax system and provide equal legal protection to"all preborn children from the moment of fertilization."
