I guess it’s fair to ask: Did the search for fraudulent voters in Texas come up empty?<\/p>\n

The Texas secretary of state’s office flagged the names of 95,000 individuals looking for evidence that they aren’t U.S. citizens and were ineligible to vote. Then the office decided that many thousands of those flagged actually are U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n

Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a> is downplaying the significance of what transpired. He said something about it being an ongoing process and that the list was never intended to be a “final” assessment.<\/p>\n

Well, OK, governor. If that’s your story, I’m sure you’re going to stand by it.<\/p>\n

It just looks to me as though the secretary of state was looking for a problem where none seems to exist. The SoS informed officials in five large Texas counties — including Collin County, where my wife and I reside — that they likely erred in flagging those names.<\/p>\n

It looks to me as though we are finding out that the instances of fraudulent voting in Texas is the non-starter that many critics of the allegations about voter fraud have said all along.<\/p>\n

There just isn’t the epidemic of voter fraud in Texas that many have suggested is occurring.<\/p>\n\n
