Texas AG Ken Paxton lobbies for more legislation on election crime, after the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on separation of powers grounds struck down a law purporting to give the AG power to prosecute.  The underlying dispute was about Paxton stepping in after a local DA chose not to prosecute the local sheriff for alleged campaign finance offenses.

I think the two pieces of legislation Paxton has in mind are the ones the Texas Tribune described here: one would allow the AG to appoint a neighboring DA as a special prosecutor in an election crime case, and the other let the AG seek fines and/or removal of prosecutors with a pattern of “limit[ing] the enforcement of any criminal offense prescribed by the election laws.”
