Texas governor threatens Houston elections as Democrats gain ground in Senate race
Texas Governor Greg Abbott escalated GOP election interference by threatening a state takeover of Houston’s elections, drawing attention from Democrats and former Republicans alike. The move follows a complaint about allegedly improper voter registrations and comes as rising Democratic candidates like James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett energize the party’s Senate challenge. Former GOP staffer Kurt Bardella noted Abbott’s actions reveal Texas is “legitimately in play,” signaling a potential shift in the state’s political landscape and a warning to voters about Republican overreach.
