    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been charging a record number of people with committing voter fraud, an effort his critics decry as an intimidation campaign designed to discourage minority voters from casting ballots.https://n.pr/2yFDWTt

        If anyone has evidence that the Texas Attorney General has done this without merit, please call the ACLU or a local attorney!!!

        Funny all these red states don’t care about voting machines changing votes or being hacked or a foreign misinformation campaign (GOP voted down voter protection funding), but go nuts on this nearly nonexistent problem of voter fraud. Guess the other types of cheating help them.

        Can't you even consider the possibility that there might actually BE voter fraud going on which it is his job to prosecute to defend our democracy?

        It is the language of the tweet that is the problem. It suggests unfairly and inaccurately that the actions being taken are voter suppression.

        People who can’t do math or understand the law shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Also. I’m not shocked that a person who committed tax fraud would commit voter fraud. I bet her attorney for her first case also argued that her tax fraud was an innocent mistake.

        So...only tax attorneys should be allowed to vote, because they're pretty much the only people who can both understand the law (which is actually very complex, and includes statute and precedent) and do math well?

        I mean simple math. For example, 3 is less than 5. And understanding that if you are serving a sentence don’t vote. Are you really that surprised that a person willing to commit tax fraud would also be willing to commit voter fraud?

        I'm willing to believe that a person who didn't read the article would also make shit up when talking about it on Twitter, because that is you right now.

        It sounds like NPR is admitting that humans NPR calls, "minorities", are the ones committing voter fraud..

        Can we also look into all the issues with the straight party tickets selecting Republicans even if you pick straight party Democrat... its been a big deal with early voters in Texas

        If the US is in any way interested in stopping this, it should consider fully moving to clear, centrally designed and regulated, paper ballots like we have in the UK. Electronic systems are so much more exploitable.pic.twitter.com/fZyDT0LUM8
