Taking Paxton’s lawsuit literally, on the other hand, is nearly impossible, given how many dubious assertions it makes. The states being sued similarly went over the lawsuit, poking more holes in it than a quarantined needlepointer. So Texas offered up a rebuttal, seeking to argue that its bad arguments, demonstrated as bad, are in fact good. Consider the vote margins in each county in the four states in both 2016 and 2020. The late votes were unquestionably from more-populous counties with more mail ballots to count and unquestionably largely mail ballots.
