Paxton called the Texas Bar a “liberal activist group,” saying the suit is politically motivated.After Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton led the legal challenge to the 2020 presidential election, the Texas State Bar is suing him for “professional misconduct.”
In December of 2020, following the presidential election filled with concerns about election integrity, Paxton led 18 states in filing Texas v. Pennsylvania at the United States Supreme Court. The case challenged the voting procedures in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin and sought to temporarily block those states from certifying vote counts ahead of the electoral college vote on December 14.
The Supreme Court eventually dismissed the case, saying Texas had a lack of standing to bring the lawsuit.
Now the Texas State Bar—the professional organization that certifies lawyers—is suing Paxton for having filed the suit, calling it frivolous.
Paxton, who is currently in a runoff election against George P. Bush, says the suit is politically motivated.
