exas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a comprehensive investigation into allegations that nonprofit organizations are unlawfully registering noncitizens to vote in Texas.

Investigators from the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit have been actively conducting undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens across the state.

This is the same unit that arrested and booked Monica Mendez into the Victoria County Jail on June 23, 2021, after a Victoria County Grand Jury returned an indictment against her on multiple counts of election fraud: 7 counts of Illegal Voting (a 2nd Degree Felony), 8 counts of Unlawfully Assisting Voter Voting Ballot by Mail (a 3rd Degree Felony), 8 counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballot (a State Jail Felony), and 8 counts of Election Fraud (a State Jail Felony).

The Texas Secretary of State referred the case to the Office of the Attorney General after allegations of illegal voting and other election code violations arose out of the 2018 Bloomington Water District Election.

Early findings from these operations have already confirmed that various nonprofit organizations have set up booths outside Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Driver License offices, offering to assist individuals with voter registration.

In a statement Wednesday, Attorney General Paxton said, “Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections. If eligible citizens can legally register to vote when conducting their business at a DPS office, why would they need a second opportunity to register with a booth outside?”

A fine question to be asked, rhetorical or not.

No we're not - we're deeply pissed!

Find 'em and gut'em.

Anecdote - I had the privilege to visit a DPS office in Texas not long ago and I can confirm that there were two people with a table setup on the sidewalk leading up to the entrance. When I say that I mean like 20 feet from the front door. Now, this is a DPS office so assuredly someone within that branch had to approve. Just food for thought.

There are lots of big rocks in West Texas. Electoral fraud convicts need to make them smaller.
