There is reporting that Texas MAGAt Attorney General and candidate for Senate Ken Paxton apparently used an address for voting registration purposes where he didn't actually live. From ProPublica's investigation, co-published with The Texas Tribune:
"Two weeks before this year’s primary elections, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the creation of a tip line for the public to report people or groups suspected of voter fraud.
'Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of a thriving republic, and with the authority granted to my office by the Legislature, we will stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity,' Paxton said in a February news release announcing the tip line.
The announcement linked to guidance from his office about election laws in Texas, which included a requirement to be a U.S. citizen, a prohibition on collecting mail ballots on behalf of others and a warning that 'it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records or to establish a residence for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.'
'You must register to vote using the address where you reside,' the attorney general’s guidance stated.
Despite his own warnings, Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years, including in May’s runoff that made him the Republican nominee for U.S. senator, according to records obtained by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune.

The fact that the corrupt and mentally disturbed Malignant Fascist endorsed securities fraudster and adulterer Paxton over sitting Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary makes even more sense, given the their records of criminality and fraud. There's real chemistry there. The article continues:
"It is unclear where Paxton has lived for the past two years, but reporting by ProPublica and the Tribune has linked him to a home in neighboring Denton County since February.
Three election lawyers told the news organizations that Paxton may have violated the same Texas laws his office cautioned about in its news release." (our emphasis)
MAGAts like Paxton believe that laws -- election laws in this case -- don't apply to them because they're pre-ordained to hold office and continue their corruption. Here's a link to support his great Dem opponent James Talarico.
Did Paxton use a fraudulent address on his nomination paperwork and would it affect his candidacy?
ReplyDeleteAnon -- unclear. The reporting says he used the incorrect address on his voter registration and ballots. Our suspicion would be that if he used it on those documents, he likely used it on other paperwork to be consistent(-ly crooked).
