Texas is the latest battleground in Trump's war against voters

Opinion | The GOP's 'election integrity' obsession could backfire in Texas

For years, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has easily ranked among the most destructively partisan and self-servingly venal elected officials in the country. And last week, he turned his sights on suppressing the votes of Texan Latinos this fall in the name of "election integrity."

On Wednesday, Paxton's office announced that it had carried out an undisclosed number of search warrants in several counties, including the one that houses San Antonio. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), one of America's oldest Latino civil rights groups, says the raids targeted several of its members. In doing so, Paxton has tipped his hand about his determination to undercut voting rights this fall — and potentially made an enemy of the very people the GOP needs to win.

Republicans have twisted the phrase "election integrity" since well before President Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Rather than a dedication to ensuring that every vote is counted, the GOP has coopted it as a justification for suppressing legal votes while claiming to prevent election fraud. We've seen efforts in other GOP-led states set up by election security offices that have brought few charges and failed to prove widespread fraud exists.


Paxton's latest stunt goes further, though, indicating a newfound focus on suppressing the work of an organization rather than disparate individuals. His office's statement last week asserted that the searches were the result of a two-year investigation of supposed "allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting" in the 2022 election but did not specify the targets of the raids or why specific homes were raided. The GOP wound up winning all of the countieswhere the claim that was sent to Paxton originated, but they are also in south Texas, a region that showed mixed results overall in the midterms.

Oh, Paxton is a criminal by the way.

Fox News Busted for Airing Blatant Election Lie Without Any Proof

Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo admitted she did no reporting before spouting lies about illegal voting.

Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo has repeatedly been saying this week that Democrats have been pushing to register "massive lines of illegals" to vote in Texas. As it turns out, she never did any actual reporting on the topic.
The Texas Department of Public Safety debunked Bartiromo's claims, with Sergeant William Lockridge, a spokesperson for the department, calling the claims "simply false" and "kind of racist" in a statement Tuesday to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Brady Gray, the chairman of the Parker County GOP, also said such reports were "erroneous" after investigating Bartiromo's claims.

One can hope that Bartiromo can be sued too.

If one wants to make America great again, they can start with removing FOX News, among others, from our "news" corporations. They don't seem to be inclined to clean up their own act, especially after their lawsuit on their reports of voting machine integrity.

How about they take out MSNBC at the same time as Fox, thus scaring the crap out of CNN by threatening them to be next? Then CNN can return to the middle, report the facts and let folks decide for themselves?

 

[MitchLL]

Maria Bartiromo nearly got fired from Fox for election lies in 2020.

Guess she thinks she will press her luck again?

That stupid bitch can't be trusted...so she's actually a perfect fit for the Opinion Network!

Why? Msnbc didn't commit the egregious shit Faux did

Seriously? MSNBC is about 40% RINO these days. You OK with that?

How about we just disband the "republic" party and tell them to go the way of the Whigs? I don't think the Know Nothings was ever trademarked so hopefully it might still be available and would totally fit their personna.

America would be so much better off.

BTW, did you got to Dublin with the Noles? If so, was it a fun trip besides the result? Ireland is still on my bucket list.

Too much Botox/cosmetic surgery would be my guess, but I lost any respect for her years ago when she sacrificed her morals for a Fox paycheck.

You have bigger problems than trying to carry on an intelligent conversation here...DJT stock about to dip under $20 tomorrow.

No, they aren’t necessarily “deceased” you dumbshit! They are “inactive” voters according to Texas interpretation of the law. There is gonna be a big blow up here about this one…..I promise you that the great state of Texas is playing loose and fast with the rulers here….but it will take years…..decades, for this thing to run thru the Courts….meanwhile, legit voters will be denied their right to vote. Remember the Alamo!

Fox lied?!?!

Did MSNBC pay out $800 million for lying? I can’t recall that.
