Texas GOP wants to abolish popular vote for statewide offices

There are a number of signs that the Texas GOP is worried about Texas turning blue. Greg Abbott is pulling a ton of stupid stunts such as sending the National Guard to the border where they have no enforcement authority, working on TFG's wall and attacking gender affirming treatment for trans youth.
