Ken Paxton’s Voter Registration May Violate Texas Law

“Two weeks before this year’s primary elections, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the creation of a tip line for the public to report people or groups suspected of voter fraud,” the Texas Tribune reports.

“The announcement linked to guidance from his office about election laws in Texas, which included a requirement to be a U.S. citizen, a prohibition on collecting mail ballots on behalf of others and a warning that ‘it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records or to establish a residence for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.'”

“Despite his own warnings, Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years, including in May’s runoff that made him the Republican nominee for U.S. senator.”
