Few Texas Voters Think Voter Fraud Is Common

A new University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll finds just 19% of Texas voters indicated they think ineligible people frequently cast ballots. A bulk of voters — 42% — believe ineligible votes are rarely or never cast. Even among Republicans, a minority of voters — 31% — believe ineligible votes are frequently cast.

The backdrop: “Texas lawmakers are poised for a special legislative session to again take up new voting restrictions after Democrats staged a dramatic walkout to scuttle the changes during this spring’s regular session.”
