Jenna Ellis has been following this closely and thus far they have acquitted Paxton on 13 out of 16 articles of impeachment. Here’s the latest tweets from her:
PAXTON ACQUITTED ON THIRTEENTH ARTICLE (Article 17):
14 YAY
16 NAY— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) September 16, 2023
For the most part the votes have been 14 Yays and 16 Nays. I believe I read that they need 21 Yays to convict.
I’ll update you as soon as I know more about the remaining articles.
UPDATE: On all remaining articles, Paxton has been acquitted. He has clearly won the day!
