Texas Fraud Prosecutions Target Women of Color

Since Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) took office in 2015, “the vast majority of individuals his office has prosecuted for voter fraud are people of color — and primarily women of color, a new analysis by the American Civil Liberties Union shows,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

“The analysis, which was based on publicly available documents, media reports and some assumptions based on surnames, found at least 72 percent of all the election fraud cases have been brought against Black and Latino defendants. At least 45 percent were against Black and Latino women.”
