The Denton County sheriff’s office and Attorney General Ken Paxton have announced the arrest of a Carrollton mayoral candidate who allegedly forged voting registration applications and had mail-in ballots sent to a post office box. bit.ly/34yCWzI
The arrest is the second incident in recent weeks in which Paxton’s office has partnered with local officials to investigate suspected voter fraud. Paxton has fought efforts to expand mail-in balloting during the coronavirus pandemic. bit.ly/3nvlYLh
It is unclear how many actual ballots were involved in the Carrollton case, and the statements do not indicate whether any ballots were actually cast.
While there are documented cases of mail-in ballot fraud, experts say it remains rare and generally involves small numbers of ballots intended to influence local elections. bit.ly/34yCWzI
