Massive Voter Fraud And By Massive, I Mean Three
Texas indicted felon Attorney General Ken Paxton spent $2.2 million of my damn money conducting a colossal hunt for voter fraud in Texas. Now, keep in mind that Paxton was on the stage with Donald Trump during the insurrection.
His office’s election integrity unit added two lawyers to the team in the last year, bringing it up to six staffers total, and worked more than 20,000 hours between October 2020 and September 2021. Its budget, meanwhile, ratcheted up from $1.9 million to $2.2 million during that time.
Yet records from the office show that the unit closed just three cases this year, down from 17 last year, and opened seven new ones. That includes the newly created unit focused on the 2021 local elections, which has yet to file a single case.”
There were 11 million votes in Texas. If all he can find is three … then maybe it’s not true that even blind squirrels can find acorns.
Honey, in 20,000 hours, I could find Amelia Earhart.
Amazing Paxton wasn’t a finalist in the Bum Steer of the Year award.
1It would be a big number to add up all the money spent in many states by repugnanticans to chase phantom fraud. I could be wrong but I’ve heard many of the 10’s of voter fraud cases uncovered were trumpf votes. And he still lost bigly.
If I were a Texas taxpayer I would be upset with this obvious waste of taxpayers monies.
2J.J., anything’s possible, if you have the time:

3Headline: “Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he’ll take fight against federal vaccine mandate for large businesses to Supreme Court”
Corrected headline: “Indicted felon TX Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton vows to waste more taxpayer money fighting masks while at the same time encouraging the spread of a deadly pandemic virus infection to his base and to other Texans.”

4Well, Abbott gave him $4mil from the prison budget to do it. Where’s the rest of the money? Do prisons get it back or did he send it straight to his lord and master?
5JJ, we are looking at voter fraud all wrong. We think it means people voting illegally, when in fact the correct definition is: Black and Brown people voting. When you understand that, then it is clear that there were millions of illegal votes cast, and indeed, the former guy did win.
6Mother Jones has a yooooooge artic le about Kenny Boy Paxton’s career and life as a corrupt magat pol in one of the most corrupt states in the world. Really good long read.

7“ in 20,000 hours, I could find…”
In 8 hours Indiana Jones could find the Lost Ark, the Temple of Doom, his long lost father, a secret Nazi lair, Temple of the Crescent Moon, AND a crystal skull.
Maybe Paxton should give Indy a call. Offer him $100,000 an hour. It would be cheaper.
8Y’all are looking at it all wrong. Every New Year’s day, my mother would call me to verify that I had black-eyed peas that day. That guaranteed good luck for the year, you know. When I would point out to her that the only good luck she’s had in life was winning a plastic clothes basket in a raffle at the laundromat … in 1958.
Her answer: honey, think of how bad my luck would have been if I hadn’t been eating black-eyed peas all those New Year’s days.
Paxton can claim that it’s *because* of his vigilance (and blowing through money like mad) that there’s so few cases of voter fraud. Without that, there would be millions of crooks voting for Democrats! That makes it even more important to re-elect him, and give him even more money to hire all his friends’ idiot law school graduates from Liberty University.
9Ken Paxton puts me in mind of the man who murdered his parents and then, as a an orphant, threw himself on the mercy of the court.
However, in Texas, the mercy of the court is often indistiguishable from that of many of the shitholecountries to the south of Texas.
It’s also highly unlikely that one of Trump’s lapdogz will ever see the inside of a jail–after it’s locked.
10Floriduh officials found three cases of voter fraud in one drumpf friendly old age community. I doubt it took 20k hours or millions of dollars to find the three and I suspect Floriduh magats weren’t even looking looking for fraudster drumpf voters.
11@e platypus #11
12The Florida count is spawning, 3 charged, another 6 referred for prosecution same county and Osceola County also has 7 possible cases of double voting snowbirds
Anyone want to make a bet on who these floriduh fraudsters were voting for? Several were at the same place as a photo op with the trumpfster. Keep looking dumbshits, he still lost bigly.
13And most of the money went into his pocket . Sadz .
14Surly – that’s like the string bracelets we used to wear in Girl Scout camp. They were “to keep elephants away”. And to the incredulous, one would say…”have you SEEN any elephants in camp?” K.F. (Known Felon) Paxton has found a time-honored source of infinite funding.
15Thanks for the update, Bananas. epo
16BILLED 20,000 hours. We’re talking contracted lawyers, boys and girls. Not worked, billed.
17Will someone please tell me if the cases they did find were Republicans???
18While I agree 200% on Paxton and the rest of the vile and despicable Rethuglikans, I have to contest this rhetorical statement:
“Honey, in 20,000 hours, I could find Amelia Earhart.”.
A group that I belong to, TIGHAR, has devoted many more than 20,000 hours, and millions of dollars, trying to resolve the mystery of what became of Amelia Earhart, and has been so far unsuccessful.
Sadly, Earhart is a bit over-rated in the public’s mind.
Her deficiencies as a pilot and navigator, particularly her unwillingness to learn then-current radio technology and protocols, played a probably fatal role in her end, likely on far-away Nikumaroro Island.
Her Lockheed 10-E Electra had been specially equipped with the latest [mid-late ’30s] Western Electric aviation radios and nav equipment, which she refused to learn how to operate [she also couldn’t effectively use Morse Code, the most prevalent comms method of the era].
Earhart depended almost totally on navigator Fred Noonan for many of the functions that she too, as PIC, should have known how to do.
Speculation and some evidence indicates that Noonan may have been severely injured, and probably died soon after their probable crash landing on Niku.
Since Earhart couldn’t proficiently operate her radios, she was doomed, a thousand miles from anywhere.

@ Sandridge:
I never delved too deeply into Ms. Earhart’s dissapearance.
I’m unsurprised that she might have been foolishly headstrong and convinced of her superiority–it’s not an isolated problem.
I’ve not really had heroes or heroines in my life but a number of persons I thought very highly of have turned out to be as defective in their own way as the rest of us.
If there is a species of perfect beings, they can’t possibly be human.
20democommie @20,
Don’t want to be misunderstood, I have a very high regard for AME*, she accomplished tremendous things, especially considering the era she lived in.
She was an extremely complex person, as you imply, with both good admirable qualities and some a little short. She started from very modest beginnings, had the smarts, skills, ambition and drive to succeed; in a ‘man’s world’ and field.
She acquired her flying lessons and first airplane the hard way, by working various jobs, scrimping and saving. Then eventually marrying the well-known and wealthy publisher George Putnam, who smoothed her way, and for his own purposes too [publication].
It’s just sad how she met her end, likely needlessly, at only 39 years old.
Fred Noonan was flawed too, a brilliant and pioneering pilot and navigator [and ship captain iirc], he established the Pacific Pan Am Clipper air routes and many other things. But he had some issues too. Mistakes were made.
Read her rather long Wiki, or/and check out the enormous TIGHAR AME section. It’s fascinating.
* I’ve even provided AME-related learning materials and stuff to my kids and grandkids.
21@ Sandridge:
I left a comment, here, yesterday but, it didn’t stick, I guess.
I didn’t mean to imply that she was a bad person; but it seems that very few of us are above being flawed humans.
Happy holidays!
