Patrick, a Republican, promised to pay $25,000 to any tipster who came forward with evidence of real voter fraud. He cut his first check this week.

AUSTIN — Nearly a year after offering up a hefty bounty for evidence of voter fraud in the wake of Donald Trump’s loss, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has handed out his first reward.

But instead of going to an informant who smoked out fraud by Democrats, Patrick’s five-figure payout went to a progressive poll worker in Pennsylvania whose tip led to a single conviction of illegal voting by a registered Republican.

The unexpected outcome reveals the political dangers of cash bounties. With few strings attached, and more cases of alleged GOP voting fraud still in Pennsylvania courts, Patrick may be asked to shell out even more cash to his opponents.

Did they intend to commit fraud? Very important here in Ohio. Woman got off even after voting for Obama four times. She did not intend to commit fraud.

Lawyers know not to ask a question they don’t already know the answer to.

Republicans, not so smart.

Not one illegal immigrant voted? Not one instance of a postal worker dumping or selling ballots? What a joke.

Of course didn’t read the article because it was paywalled.

He voted twice, the second time masquerading as his son. I’d say there was intent to commit fraud.

Waiting to learn that the tipster and the fraudster did this together to share $25K for a little slap on the hand…

If bounties were not offered in Georgia there was no fraud.

So he paid money to prove Pennsylvania has voter fraud. What’s the problem?

The system has holes in it.

This is what I was thinking too.

Rat voter fraud is a pretty perfect crime, you aren’t gonna “prove” it, which is why you have to stop it from happening in the first place.

Given that he’s a Republican, most likely Trump.

Maybe you haven't noticed. Trump isn't well liked by many Republicans. Quite the opposite in fact.
