ProPublica • • nation
Key Points:
- Democratic candidate James Talarico accuses Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton of committing voter fraud by voting illegally in six elections using an address where he no longer resides.
- Investigations by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune revealed Paxton moved out of his shared home in 2024 but continued to vote there, potentially violating state law.
- The Collin County Democratic Party filed a complaint urging the Texas secretary of state to investigate Paxton for election fraud, but the office has not taken definitive action.
- Paxton has avoided answering questions about his voter registration and residency, while his campaign focuses on law enforcement endorsements and attacks Talarico’s record.
- Experts and political analysts suggest the allegations reinforce existing criticisms of Paxton’s conduct and highlight perceived hypocrisy in Texas officials’ tough stance on election integrity.
