At the Texas GOP's 2024 convention, hardline activists, including indicted election fraud conspiracy theorist Steve Hotze, called for "spiritual warfare" against perceived demonic forces on the left. The convention saw the adoption of policies to increase party control over elections, infuse Christianity into public life, and further marginalize Democrats and LGBTQ+ individuals. The event highlighted a growing embrace of Christian nationalism and conspiracy theories within the party, with significant influence from figures like David Barton and support from prominent Republicans.

GOP Legislators Regain Power Over Elections in Crucial States

Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO

Republican lawmakers in key battleground states are making efforts to assert more control over state and local election offices, potentially disrupting preparations for the 2024 presidential contest. These efforts include attempts to remove election officials, remaking election boards, and dismantling election offices. Election watchdog groups warn that these moves could further erode public confidence in the electoral system, which has already been under attack since the 2020 election. The actions come as former President Donald Trump, the likely GOP presidential nominee, continues to dispute the 2020 election results and faces legal charges related to his efforts to overturn them.
