In Texas, evidence of voter fraud abounds. In recent years, my office has secured more than 50 voter fraud convictions. Those include a woman who voted in place of her dead mother, a political operative who cast ballots for two people, and a city councilmember who registered foreign nationals to vote in an election decided by 19 votes. Voter fraud is hard to detect, so cases like these are just the tip of the iceberg.

I love the part that you quoted:

Tip of the iceberg, my butt. He claims 50 convictions, but only cites 3 cases where more stringent identification requirements would have made any difference. This is typical of voter fraud arguments. They raise the specter of people voting multiple times and voting for dead people, but then the overwhelming majority of the cases they cite have nothing to do with voter impersonation fraud. He says that voter fraud is hard to detect. Really? I would think that multiple votes by the same voter or votes by dead people would show up every time. Maybe now and then an imposter will get lucky and pick someone who is alive, registered to vote, and not likely to show up at the polls, but I find it hard to believe that people would concoct schemes based on such shaky assumptions. Abbott is full of baloney.

I still haven't read the article in the OP. Maybe it will cite evidence we haven't already seen.

And an even minor reading of Abbot's claims show he has inflated his figures by about 100%.

So far Abbot has 26 real convictions. Not bad for a six year period during which 24,000,000 votes were cast.

That means that .00000108333 of one percent were found guilty of voter fraud.

But in the Montgomery County, Texas, RUD election there were only 12 votes cast, and 7 of them are now thought to be the result of Voter Fraud. Based on this number the percentage of fake votes in this election is 58%, so yes, it appears there is a problem with voter fraud in some parts of Texas.

By the way, the trial of the 'RUD 7' begins on September 17th.

Regardless, its more than one case.

I read somewhere Obama was all for voter ID. I guess his internal polling has made him change his mind.

No dice on that one, unless you can provide a link.

An editorial by Greg Abbott, the Attorney General for Texas?

Check his math:

PolitiFact | Abbott touts 50 election fraud convictions; we subtract 29

He claims 50 convictions since 2002. He's spent millions of dollars pursuing this. He formed a special unit just to combat voter fraud.

Reality: 26 convictions, miscellaneous other results.

Evidence of fraud abounds in Texas, all right.

YAK...YAK...YAK.....than you for proving and supporting my point, like the original OP said, there was only one case of voter fraud in Tx and they said it hadn't been adjucated yet......so I must humbly thank you for supporting my point.
I love you man....
