The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has finally gotten around to reporting on a story I’ve already covered on what may be Texas’ largest-ever vote fraud investigation underway in Tarrant County by the Attorney General.
From the Star-Telegram story: “The Republicans have been looking for a blockbuster case to demonstrate that voter fraud isn’t just a series of small mistakes. If some of these allegations turn out to be true, they may finally have their white whale,” said Brandon Rottinghaus, a political science professor at the University of Houston.
Rottinghaus is typical of the press coverage on vote fraud which often pretends such doesn’t happen significantly and what does is minor and almost always chalked up to mistakes. Our Texas history says otherwise; think LBJ.
Here are a few points about the Tarrant County probe which pulls the rug out from the regular Democrat mantra on vote fraud in Texas:
The biggest alarmist for vote fraud there is former very-liberal-Left state Rep. Lon Burnham who believes vote fraud cost him his seat in the Democrat Primary to Ramon Romero in 2014 through an “illegal computerized-signature vote-by-mail operation” run by his opponent.
“Virtually every local election I know anything about has been disproportionately impacted by mail-in ballot harvesting program run by a handful of people,” ol’ Liberal-Lon told the paper.
Tarrant County is heavily Republican and run by GOP officials so this is no witch-hunt singling out a Democrat dominated courthouse by a Republican Attorney General.
Vote fraud is hard to document and prove. Only time will tell if this probe will be able to demonstrate what even Democrats, when speaking honestly, know to be true: Vote fraud exists in Texas and is systematic in some areas.
“White whale” or not, vote fraud exists in Texas
