The Texas attorney general is cracking down on Democrats in a supposed crusade to root out “voter fraud.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against supposed voter fraud appears to be targeting the state’s Democrats.

Last week, Paxton’s office announced raids and undercover actions against organizations in Texas it accuses of illegally registering noncitizens to vote. In practice, though, the raids have taken place against members of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S., as well as several prominent Democrats in south Texas.

According to LULAC officials, the group’s members had their cell phones and laptops confiscated by law enforcement officials carrying out search warrants.

    Things I will bet money on

    • They will produce no evidence of any wrongdoing uncovered from any of these raids
    • They will give some cryptic statement that tries to make it sound like they did find something
    • Texas lawmakers will continue to not hold Paxton accountable for anything

      Also highly likely, wrongdoing is uncovered eventually and it’s like this guy’s uncle or something

      The whole point is to prevent registrations and it is working.
