Texas AG Ken Paxton's Senate race could spark election chaos
Original: Why top Texas election denier Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race
Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general and one of the country's most prominent promoters of false election-fraud claims, is running for the US Senate. Commentators warn that if he loses, he could challenge or refuse to accept the result, repeating tactics used after the 2020 election and creating a contested outcome in a major statewide race. His race is being watched as a test of whether election denialism will shape how defeats are handled in 2026.
Why now: Paxton's record of disputing election results raises fears he would not concede a loss, threatening a contested outcome.
