Election Fraud Prosecution at an 'All-Time High': Texas Attorney General's Office

April 6, 2021

*

An official in Texas Attorney General's office testified during a state House hearing that the number of election fraud cases in Texas is at an "all-time high."

The amount is "higher than our historical average by a long shot," said Jonathan White, the head of the election fraud agency within the Texas Attorney General's Special Prosecution Division, to the Texas House Elections Committee last week ... When asked by a state lawmaker if there were trends in election fraud prosecutions, White said that "have 510 offenses pending against 43 defendants in court right now," saying it's "for several reasons probably." He did not elaborate. White said that about 80 percent of those pending cases involve alleged mail-in ballot fraud, and 60 percent of resolved cases involved mail-in voting. The attorney general's office prosecuted 534 election fraud-related cases committed by 155 people since 2005, according to the report.
 

Last week, the Republican-led Texas state Senate approved legislation that would ban mail-in ballot drop boxes and most drive-thru voting, a measure that Republicans say "ensures election integrity." Democrats have said it's voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote. The measure, according to state Sen. Bryan Hughes, a Republican, is "designed to address areas through process where bad actors can take advantage because we want the people of Texas to be confident their elections are fair, honest, and open." The legislation "standardizes and clarifies" voting rules so "every Texan has a fair and equal opportunity to vote, regardless of where they live in the state."... and would also require authorization from top state leaders to be alerted about any private funding of more than $1,000 that is given to election departments ...
