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.

    This slime has gotten away with every crime he’s committed so far, so I’m very skeptical that he’s in trouble.

      I think he’s going to continue to get away with pretty much whatever he wants until and unless he catches some high-velocity lead poisoning, or is exposed to an energetic exothermic reaction in close proximity. There is no way in hell any element of the TX state government will hold him accountable.
