Step 1: Have a schizo post a retarded theory on Twitter
Step 2: Have a drunken Fox News contributor repeat the unsubstantiated theory on air
Step 3: Have a criminal Attorney General start an investigation based on those schizo rumors
Step 4: Pretend this is a legitimate investigation, despite not having any proof
https://www.texastribune.org/2024/08/26/texas-voter-registration-election-ken-paxton-investigation/Officials in a North Texas county debunked claims made by a Fox News host that migrants were registering to vote outside a state drivers license facility west of Fort Worth — an unsubstantiated claim that appeared to spark an investigation by Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office.
Both the Parker County Republican chair and election administrator said there was no evidence to support the Aug. 18 social media post made by television personality Maria Bartiromo, who previously promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Paxton’s office announced it was opening an investigation into “reports that organizations operating in Texas may be unlawfully registering noncitizens to vote” Wednesday.
In announcing the investigation, the attorney general’s office said investigators confirmed that nonprofits had booths set up outside of license offices to offer voter registration assistance, though it did not state specifically where these offices were located.
The attorney general’s office statement did not say any laws were broken.
The Department of Public Safety, which managed the state’s drivers license offices, said in an email obtained by The Texas Tribune that voter registration groups would not be allowed to recruit new voters outside those locations — a response to allegations that so far have not been proven true.
Neither the attorney general’s office nor the public safety department responded to questions about the investigation.
