Paxton: Parolees Arrested on Illegal Vote Claims

A concerned citizen in Harris County reported that felons on parole, probation, or still locked up had allegedly voted anyway, and Ken Paxton's Election Integrity Unit went and looked. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice says several of the accused were on parole when they cast ballots, which is a bad week to be on parole. Warrants went out in Montgomery County on October 30, and those folks have since been arrested. Paxton says more reports are under investigation, which is the kind of news that makes a cattleman check the rest of the herd. Nobody has said how many were picked up, so don't count your chickens before they hatch. Back home, when the same gate keeps swinging open, you check who's walking through it.
