    Why does the Texas Republican Party need to sue the state to get this done? Doesn’t it run the state?

      There may be a law on the books that they can’t seem to get repealed through legislation. So they sue saying it is unconstitutional. And the defendant being the state of Texas represented by Ken Paxton. Ol Ken tells the judge they won’t defend the case. Republican judge rules in favor of the Republican party.

      This is just my armchair assessment.
