The Texas attorney general is cracking down on Democrats in a supposed crusade to root out “voter fraud.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against supposed voter fraud appears to be targeting the state’s Democrats.
Last week, Paxton’s office announced raids and undercover actions against organizations in Texas it accuses of illegally registering noncitizens to vote. In practice, though, the raids have taken place against members of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S., as well as several prominent Democrats in south Texas.
According to LULAC officials, the group’s members had their cell phones and laptops confiscated by law enforcement officials carrying out search warrants.
I’m sorry their what? You need a licence to hand someone a printed form or sit them down in front of a website? And this is supposed to be the state of freedom and small government?
The goal is probably to prevent those voters from being re-added to the list before the registration deadline expires. If that happens then they've succeeded even if they ultimately lost in court sometime next year.
