Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has affirmed for me why I generally do not give money to political candidates.<\/p>\n

Campaign finance law allows them to spend it foolishly, as Patrick has just done by shelling out $25,000 to a Pennsylvania poll watcher who caught a single individual voting illegally in that state in 2020.<\/p>\n

Patrick had promised to pay as much as $1 million to anyone who could prove “widespread voter fraud” in the 2020 election. He has sent just one check, though, totaling 25K to the poll watcher.<\/p>\n

You see, there isn’t any “widespread vote fraud” to be found. Not in Texas. Not in Pennsylvania. Nowhere, man!<\/p>\n

Which brings me back to my point. The money came from Patrick’s campaign stash. If I had given money to Patrick’s campaign, I would be damn angry that he is spending a dime of his campaign money for this kind of foolishness. It comes from the pockets of those who believe in a candidate.<\/p>\n

It boggles my noggin to think that anyone who gave to this blowhard’s campaign would actually endorse<\/em> his writing a check for a single case of someone voting illegally … in another state!<\/p>\n
