Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said over the weekend that his office still has more than 500 election fraud cases that need to be heard in court.
The attorney general made the announcement after a woman was arrested by the state Election Fraud Unit late last week for multiple counts of election fraud, according to a statement from his office.
“We will prosecute voter fraud every time we find it,” Paxton, a Republican, wrote on Twitter over the weekend in reference to the case. “Currently, our office has over 500 cases waiting to be heard in court.”

According to the release from his office, which provided scant details about the case, Monica Mendez was arrested and booked into the Victoria County Jail on June 23. It came after a grand jury returned an indictment on seven counts of illegal voting, eight counts of unlawfully assisting a voter, eight counts of unlawful possession of ballots, and eight counts of election fraud.

In May, Texas’s state Senate approved a sweeping bill that would grant more power to poll watchers by giving them increased access inside polling areas. It would also create new penalties against election officials who restrict poll watchers’ movements and would allow a judge to void the outcome of an election if the number of fraudulent votes could change the result, among other provisions.
However, during the final hours of the previous legislative session on May 30, state House Democrats walked out before the Republican-led chamber could vote on the Senate bill.

Democrats, meanwhile, have generally opposed the GOP-backed election reform bills that are being proposed in Texas, saying that such bills restrict voting access to minority groups.

I would like to see one person of importance locked up in a Fed prison.
In New York, you become a social pariah if you claim election fraud. Your former friends will whisper that you are an idiot.
They’ve got projection down to a science.
It would be news if an instance of Republican vote fraud were going to court.
If it was the state bringing charges they will be in a Texas prison. That being said if there is enough evidence to bring this many people up on charges then cheating is much more common than one would think.
They need a to all get the maximum sentences allowed to set an exampke.
K’mon, don’t they know that all this has been debunked? Former AG Barr said so, so what gives? You guys aren’t White Supermarketers are you?
It’s no wonder Assistant Democrats want George P Bush to replace this guy.
If Texas had used Dominion, Beto would have won
Just DAM! I wish I was in TX. I would get on every jury I could hearing those cases.
There you got you Texans. You retired? You can volunteer for jury at the proper time for those cases.
Paxton was the first place
I learned how dangerous dominion was.
He made a 3 hour video detailing the Texas
State review of dominion systems
showing why Texas declined to buy their
system for their election.
I beleive he was Texas AG at the time.

I agree.
But like organized crime all these decades, we'd have to decide enemies who do us wrong don't go to prison----it gets "settled" out of court. Not really but it sounds exciting and dramatic.
In real life, Dems skate, conservatives go to prison (Manafort, et al.)
They would have pretrial breaking news coverage with key over the hill lawyers and retired prosecutors on all networks for 4 hours a day, then coverage in front of the courthouse as key figures go inside, and full after-action analysis by panels. Aerial video provided by Goodyear blimp and the Interstate Helicopter Company.
And the stunning over the top liberal judge's sentence of the Republican to 3 consecutive life terms in maximum security prison.
Don’t worry, it’s Texas where the justice system moves at the speed of Twin Peaks.
But Bob Barr promised me there was no election fraud.
There’s one woman that IIRC, was charged with ‘harvesting’ over 1800 ballots, and another a few thousand.

One of those was videoed by Project Veritas.
