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.
They confiscated their license to register voters as part of the evidence. This is to stop them from signing people up to vote.
I’m sorry their what? You need a licence to hand someone a printed form or sit them down in front of a website? And this is supposed to be the state of freedom and small government?
Freedom to do what they tell you to and a government small enough to fit into woman’s vagina. There is a reason the state is only rated one lone star.
