Texas governor ‘got caught with his pants down’ orchestrating voter fraud
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ® led the effort to purge thousands of voters from state election rolls, according to electronic correspondence made public on Tuesday.
The revelation comes in the wake of last week’s resignation by Texas Secretary of State David Whitley, who widely was believed to have been responsible for the aggressive voter suppression efforts.
However, the release of the emails revealed that the state began rolling out the program months before Whitley was appointed to office in December, and that the disgraced former secretary of state had “nothing to do with the program,” said Luis Vera, general counsel of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).
Who would thought that this could happen in Texas?
