The charges allege that he and his cohorts cast mail-in ballots for able-bodied voters, falsely proclaiming the voters were disabled.

On Wednesday afternoon, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of four people allegedly connected to a vote harvesting scheme in the state's 2018 Democratic primary election, including a Democratic victor of that primary.

Brown won the March 6, 2018 Democratic primary by just five votes. His victory was secured by 787 mail-in ballots cast in his precinct. Over one-third of those ballots were from individuals claiming a disability,The high number of voters claiming a disability raised suspicions of fraud since only 2.5 percent of mail-in voters in the county's three other precincts claimed a disability on their own mailed ballots.

Why are most cases of Voter Fraud done by MAGA GOPbaggers?

Scheknul_Alt GOP dirty fk3rs

KenPaxtonTX Kind of like how the 2018 Senate election was rigged by your party statewide?

This sounds completely suspicious. Timing matters

I read the article. Seems more like a parliamentary issue than voter fraud given that accurate votes were actually cast. It wasn’t an if but a how. And how did this “harvesting” thing become an issue. Get out the vote? It’s just politics. Fraud?

If guilty, sock it to them.

A Republican you say ? For ElectionFraud in TEXAS ? Tell me more....

no. a conservative fucking with elections?!

Trump will give him a get out of jail card.

Read the indictments. There are real charges in there that are serious, but Paxton is MASSIVELY overselling this as proof that voting by mail is dangerous. There are a lot of allegations relating to requesting mail-in ballots but only one allegation involving marking a ballot.

Wait, I thought EricTrump, realDonaldTrump, DonaldJTrumpJr, and the entire GOP were just making up voter fraud.

Dean announced an investigation into the suspicious ballots on May 23, 2018. At the time, he said the probe would take three to six months. They just timed this right before the election so its probably bullshit.

But Trump makes voter fraud accusations without any evidence according to the media.

Paxton certainly knows all about fraud lol
