This must read report first appeared in the Dallas Morning News.
A snippet: “The cases his office pursued largely have involved mail-in ballots. In 18 of the 26 cases, the voters were eligible, votes were properly cast and no vote was changed – but the people who collected the ballots for mailing were prosecuted.”
Another snippet: “Eight of the 26 cases involved ineligible voters or manufactured votes, The News’ review found. They include a woman who voted for her dead mother, another in which a Starr County man voted twice, and three South Texas women who used false addresses to get voter registration cards for people who did not exist. The most significant cases were against a former Port Lavaca City Council member who lied to a grand jury about registering noncitizens to vote and against a Refugio County commissioner who distributed mail-in ballots to residents to mark in his presence. Both were convicted and imprisoned.”
It is not clear to me if any of the cases involve voter impersonation at the polls that a voter id law would possibly prevent.
