Texas AG: 'I can tell you there's lots of election fraud' - State's prosecutors 'overwhelmed with cases'
WND ^ | 03/05/2021 | Bob Unruh

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says there's "lots" of vote fraud, and states that claim the problem is only nominal do so simply because they don't investigate.

"I can tell you there's lots of election fraud. We just don't come close to resources we need in Texas to pursue all the election fraud we have, let alone what's going on in other states," he said in an interview with One America News Network.

He explained when he took over, the state had one prosecutor assigned to election fraud. Now there are three.

"Those prosecutors are busy all the time," he said. "They're overwhelmed with cases. The challenge of it is you have to develop the evidence, do the investigations. You can't just bring charges because you get a complaint.

"I think a lot of other states have not pursued these claims, have not put the resources behind it. So then the narrative is really easy to say that there's no election fraud because there's no one prosecuting it."

He said the solution in Texas is to keep expanding the prosecution team until they see the end of the problem.

"Since we've never gotten to the end of our cases. I would probably just keep increasing the size, like double, until we get to the point we're getting to the end of the cases," he said.

The report documented several recent cases of election fraud prosecution in the state.

Paxton advised other states, "It's better to fight the fight up front, than deal with it after the fact."

He said that during the recent election cycle, the state faced 12 lawsuits in which officials wanted to violate state law concerning mail-in ballots and other issues. The state won all 12.

Otherwise, he said, Texas would have been "a lot like Georgia"

HR 1 will take care of all this fraud...by making it perfectly legal.

the key is to close the ridiculous holes in the front end of the registration and voting processes. voter photo ID, lockdown on mail and absentee voting, end ballot harvesting, chain of custody on ballot counting, and full transparency on the vote counting process, just to name a few.

if we learned anything in the past few months, we learned that it’s nearly impossible to unfork an election after it has been forked. there’s not even a clear standard for vote fraud; it sure as hell isn’t “clear evidence of widespread fraud”.

Liberals depend upon voter fraud to stay in office. It’s an ongoing criminal conspiracy and nobody is going to fix anything.

How can this be? Barr said there was no widespread election fraud.

The lack of resources is why you keep seeing stories about people arrested for election fraud in Texas during the 2018 election. They haven’t come close to getting any cases for the 2020 election yet.

Yep. It’s why the rats will likely retain Congress after the 2022 midterms. HR1 is the softer American equivalent of Germany’s 1933 Enabling Act . . . but the result will be the same: unlimited power.

All legal of course.

“Germany’s 1933 Enabling Act”

EXCELLENT analogy. You are absolutely right.
