Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on July 11 that his office is investigating nearly 400 more alleged cases of voter fraud and told audience members that concern about election fraud isn’t overblown.
The 386 cases that are being investigated are in addition to more than 500 cases that his office has prosecuted, Paxton said, without elaborating on the details of some of the cases.
“Do not believe the narrative, because in Texas we are going to fight election fraud,” Paxton said, noting that Republicans would have struggled during election day last year if his office hadn’t stopped local election officials from breaking rules around balloting.
Referring to claims that voter fraud doesn’t exist—made typically by Democrats—the Republican attorney general described it as a false narrative.
“People tell you there is no election fraud. Let me just tell you right now, my office has 511 counts in court because of COVID waiting to be heard. We have another 386 that we’re investigating,” he told the CPAC audience in Texas. “If you add those together, that’s more election fraud than my office has prosecuted since it started investigating election fraud years and years ago. So do not believe the narrative, because in Texas we are going to fight election fraud.”
In June, Paxton announced that his office is investigating 500 cases that are “waiting to be heard in court.”

But ALL the TV news media said “Trump’s references to the debunked and unproven cases of voting irregularities....”
About 700 times this year.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Politicians of both parties always exaggerate things to look like they’re doing something but somehow nothing really changes. Out of over 500 cases, they’ll pry end up prosecuting five ppl. Big whoop.
Prosecutions are not convictions. Plus Trump won Texas by 600,000 votes.
Texas has already sentenced people for voter fraud in the last election. Sooner or later one of these small fish is going to make a deal.
That's why voter ID laws -- and eliminating ALL forms of mail-in voting -- are essential for maintaining election integrity.
If Trump had not improved his 2016 numbers by 15% and done 6% or even lost a little, he would not have carried Texas. Biden supposedly got more than 10% more than Hillary did in their big push... which is nonsense.. but when you have the left sending in mail in ballot requests for every democrat who ever lived in the state and Republicans sitting on their hands it could very easily go Blue. If Republicans put up anyone but Trump.. they will lose the state. This is why they handed out the Trump reinstated cards at CPAC... they have no interntion of every pursuing that... they just want to align their re-elections with the Trump base, who watched them all sit around and let Trump twist in the wind while an election was stolen right in front of them. Every single one of them failed. I am sure we will get a replay of Lucy with the football... and the average voters will be shocked when the busload of Afghan refugees shows up 3 weeks after the election and Republicans never vote Trump Speaker of the House if they somehow win the midterms... people are pissed... and I don’t know if the RINO’s quite get it yet... they will though... voters can stay home just like Congressmen can.
Who knows how big it really was.
They all know what happened to Seth Rich, Epstein, McAfee and even that reported who broke the Clinton tarmac meeting story.
Paxton deserves to be re-elected, please tell me that Texans are not stupid enough to toss him out in favor of Yeb!’s kid.
*************
Thus disenfranchising some of the legitimate voters?
This country existed for more than 100 years before absentee voting became common. And it wasn't until the 1864 that even military personnel were permitted to vote by mail.
Sorry — that’s supposed to read: “... the 1864 presidential election ...”
So do we have any follow-up reporting?
