Critics in Texas say a legislative amendment may have been used as a "Trojan Horse" to hold back the state's maternal mortality report until after the elections. Commentators argue Governor Greg Abbott does not want the data released before voters go to the polls, raising concerns about transparency around maternal health outcomes in the state.
Why now: Accusations that a state report with politically sensitive health data is being delayed until after elections are drawing attention.
