The nation’s oldest Latino civil rights organization, LULAC, is one of several entities in Texas targeted in voter fraud raids led by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, CBS News has learned.
In a letter first obtained by CBS News, LULAC requested that the Justice Department investigate Paxton’s office for Voting Rights Act violations. The organization is accusing Paxton’s office of carrying out illegal searches premised on voter fraud.
“These actions echo a troubling history of voter suppression and intimidation that has long targeted both Black and Latino communities, particularly in states like Texas, where demographic changes have increasingly shifted the political landscape,” LULAC CEO Juan Proaño and the group’s national president, Roman Palomares, said in the letter.
Paxton might be the biggest scumbag in Texas.
And that’s quite the achievement, since everything is bigger in Texas.
Fuckin’ one-star State.
As someone who lives in TX, I can assure you there wouldn’t be any stars on the flag if the rating system allowed it.
I live here too. I’m counting the days until I can move.
Born and raised and sad to say I prefer Oklahoma over Texas.
Why? Oklahoma is just East Texas with a Native American reservation bolted onto it.
You know Texas is in a bad place when Dan Crenshaw is like our fifth-worst politician
He and the Missouri DA are competing for most craven.
He is bad enough that even the Republicans impeached him!
He was acquitted of all charges. The “impeachment” was cover to prevent the FBI from getting fully involved.
Basically, “We’ve investigated
ourselvesand found no wrongdoing.”Hopefully we can get him out of office so that he can face whatever other charges he’s been dodging.
