Among other things, the odds of this travesty becoming law are rather slim. I think the sponsor is enjoying "owning the libs," especially the ones north of the Red River.Remarkable:

Texas Republicans are pushing for an audit of 2020 votes -- but only in the biggest counties.
Its chief sponsor, asked why the audit doesn't include smaller counties, actually says this:
"What's the point? All the small counties are red.”https://t.co/QFGWVy5X0l pic.twitter.com/FxxBn5B1wj
Special sessions are going to be dominated by other matters, such as getting the Dems to stay in the state long enough to be arresed; as well as redistricting and other pressing issues. I'm not even sure the Texas House, even with the Dems in place, wouldn't spike this one. They've shown they aren't quite as crazy as the Senate, but when the cat's away, the rats will....
Besides (and I am quite serious about this), they have more important things to worry about (and the fact the Tribune has yet to write an article about this "election audit" bill tells me they think it has even less of a chance of becoming law).
Now that's an issue many in Texas would rally around! Well, until they realized they don't really give a shit where UT plays football, they've been doing it so badly since Darrel Royal stopped running things.A group of lawmakers have filed legislation that would prohibit Texas public universities from switching their affiliations with collegiate athletic conferences without approval from #TXlege.

The move is largely symbolic and is unlikely to become law. https://t.co/T2kdUnGStc
