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.
I don’t like the defeatist attitude that TX is red until it’s blue because of Democrat victory. We have enough issues getting people to the polls, even though TX was the first state to have early voting (since 1980) with polls open at least 9 hours the first week and at least 12 hours the second week and final day. People use the inconvenience excuse all the time and it really brings down voter turnout.
The people moving in from California are conservatives and according to an exit poll in 2018, when Beto was challenging Cruz, the non-native Texans supported Cruz more while the native Texans were voting more for Beto.

I think hour news story just proves what I was saying. Many people are moving to Texas and making the state more red.
