In case you missed it:

Ken Paxton vowed to “stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity.” But experts say he may have violated state law by using an address where he no longer appears to live to vote in six elections in two years.

Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.

The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

Well I guess he literally did stop at nothing. He did nothing and then he stopped.
