I told you about about the enormous screw-up over so-called and nonexistent voter fraud found by the Texas Secretary of State, David Whitley.  He claimed there were 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Texas.  And then Attorney General Ken Paxton hollered that he was going to prosecute every damn one of them who tried to vote. Come to find out, Whitley, who spared no expense, was already having local elections offices take these 95,000 people off their voter rolls when it was discovered that his numbers were wildly and insanely incorrect.

Once it was uncovered that most of these people had become citizens during the time period in question and that duplicate names were rampant, all of a sudden it was oopsy time and they just wanted us to forget what they’d done.

Whitley was appointed by Governor Greg Abbott.  He’d been Abbott’s Chief of Staff.  So after all this expensive screw-up, including lawyers to defend against all the groups filing suit, Abbott up and gave Whitley a 49% pay raise so that the new Secretary of State was making almost $200,000 a year.

The Texas Senate has just enough votes to keep the Whitley from getting approval.  They hung tough and did it.  Slimy little Whitley, the boy who cannot count, resigned minutes before the Texas Senate adjourned.

A personal thank you to Texas Senator Kirk Watson and all the Texas Senators for a job well done.
