How this connects
House Bill 12 proposes giving Texas's attorney general the power to prosecute crimes related to state election laws. Right now, local prosecutors handle most of these cases. This bill would let the attorney general take charge of election crime investigations and prosecutions across Texas, and require local law enforcement to share information with the attorney general about suspected election crimes.
