“Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced charges Thursday against four people, including a county commissioner, for allegedly carrying out a mail ballot fraud scheme in the 2018 Democratic primary.

Gregg County Commissioner Shannon Brown and three others “targeted young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were ‘disabled,’ in most cases without the voters’ knowledge or consent,” as part of a vote harvesting scheme meant to swing the primary to Brown, according to a press release from Paxton’s office.

The state filed a total of 123 felony charges against the four defendants, including organized election fraud, illegal voting, fraudulent use of an application for a mail-in ballot and election fraud, according to the indictments.“

Fake news. This never happens.

What you see isn't real.

You have to bring the hammer down on these people. That's the only way to curb this kind of behavior.

I believe these are the 4 fine Americans involved. If unclear, they were booked into jail.

Please keep these voter fraud threads coming, Grrl.

I've started a spreadsheet listing all voter fraud examples that I can find so that the next time Texridder, TigerDoc, et al, claims there are no documented cases of voter fraud, I'll post the links I have.

No ID listed always means DEM - but in this case it was a DEM primary so the information was actually in the article, just not highlighted in the headline.

I like that idea, Russian. I suspect we will see many more such reports over the next month. There’s quite a few from 2016, too.

And what resoundingly obvious connection do all these fine citizens have in common with one another???

That's right! They're Republican white supremacists!

Clearly not them. No way they got arrested without getting shot in the back by the police. Fake.

Russian - link to Heritage Foundation Voter Fraud Database.

quote:

The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database presents a sampling of recent proven instances of election fraud from across the country. This database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list. It does not capture all cases and certainly does not capture reported instances that are not investigated or prosecuted. It is intended to demonstrate the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed. In addition to diluting the votes of legitimate voters, fraud can have an impact in close elections, and we have many close elections in this country. Preventing, deterring, and prosecuting election fraud is essential to protecting the integrity of our voting process. Reforms intended to ensure such integrity do not disenfranchise voters and, in fact, protect their right to vote. Winning elections leads to political power and the incentives to take advantage of security vulnerabilities are great, so it is important that we take reasonable steps to make it hard to cheat, while making it easy for legitimate voters to vote.


Searchable database
