Trump requested an election audit in Texas—which he won
Former President Donald Trump sent a letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday asking him to “act now” to conduct an audit of the 2020 presidential election in the state, which he carried by a comfortable six percentage points.... [+]Trump did not make any specific allegations to back up his call for an audit in Texas, saying he supports it because: “I hear Texans want an election audit!”
Trump urged the state legislature to pass House Bill 16 during the ongoing special session and asked Abbott to support the legislation, which would create a process for civil investigations into election “irregularities” if there are complaints. The bill is modeled on legislation state Sen. Paul Bettencourt introduced during an earlier special session, which he told theTrump won Texas by a much larger margin than what was expected based on polling, and the 2020 election in Texas is widely regarded as a disaster for Democrats, who also failed to take control of the state House, as they had hoped.
