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.

      The GOP is literal organized crime. I wish Putin would just release the RNC emails they stole back in 2015 or whatever. RICO these motherfuckers.
