1303: Redneck Red Herring

Texas Election Lawsuit, CNN Racism Allegations

The State of Texas, led by Attorney General Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court to challenge election results in four states. CNN analysts compared the legal filing's reference to the 1860 election to the secession of slave states, labeling the move as an attempt to undermine democracy. The hosts argue the 1864 election is a more apt historical comparison for current events.
