Lt. Gov. @DanPatrick's standing bounty offer for proof of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election didn't quite turn out like he planned.
chron.com/politics/artic…
The Republican leader's massive reward offer for tips uncovering illegal voting went to an unlikely recipient in Pennsylvania.
chron.com/politics/artic…
Patrick cut a $25,000 check for the tip — a tip that led to a single conviction of illegal voting by a registered Republican.
chron.com/politics/artic…
"It's my belief that they were trying to get cases of Democrats doing voter fraud. And that just wasn't the case," the recipient said.

"This kind of blew up in their face."
chron.com/politics/artic…
Just a week after the 2020 election, as former President Donald Trump refused to admit defeat, Patrick announced he had set aside $1 million for whistleblowers in exchange for evidence of voter fraud.
Anyone whose information resulted in a conviction would receive at least $25,000, according to a press release.
In his announcement, Patrick blamed Democrats for not passing stricter voting laws to prevent election fraud.
Has anyone else sent in tips for Patrick's voter fraud bounty?

The Texas Rangers handled Spirit Day—a day dedicated to taking a stand against the bullying of LGBTQ+ youth—differently than the rest of baseball.

Spirit Day, which falls on the third Thursday in October, is dedicated to taking a stand against the bullying of LGBTQ+ youth.
chron.com/sports/astros/…
As 29 Major League Baseball teams had their social media groups send out messaging Tuesday in support of Spirit Day and the LGBTQ+ community, the Texas Rangers took a different approach.

A hemp manufacturer and retailer asked a judge Wednesday to temporarily suspend the @TexasDSHS classification of Delta 8 THC as a controlled substance.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
This is the first legal step taken since the department quietly announced the change last week.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
Up until last week, retailers and manufacturers worked under the assumption that Delta 8 THC products were legal to sell and possess under Texas law.

A burnt orange backdrop for the @GovAbbott's interview with an alt-right news outlet puzzled and upset some University of Texas alums.
chron.com/politics/artic…
On Wednesday, Abbott posted a tweet calling @POTUS's vaccine mandate unconstitutional and shared a clip of his interview with far-right news outlet Breitbart about the topic.
chron.com/politics/artic…
In the video, @GregAbbott_TX sits in an empty Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, explaining why he recently issued an executive order banning COVID-19 vaccine mandates by private companies in Texas.

🔥 @theestallion's collab with @Popeyes dropped yesterday. And we tried the H-Town Hottie's hot sauce to see how it measures up.

Does the sauce make us feel like a true spicy, pricey Hot Girl? Find out here: bit.ly/3nddWHH
What do you think of our remix at the end of the video, @theestallion?
Megan Thee Stallion already told us there isn't anything she can't do back in 2019. Presumably, that includes developing the hottest of hot girl sauces for one of the biggest fast food chains in the country.

Were the Red Sox cheating last night?
#ALCS #PostSeason
chron.com/sports/astros/…
Game 5 of the Astros-Red Sox American League Championship Series had a slight delay Wednesday when umpires noticed a light against the outfield wall with the Astros leading big in the sixth inning.
chron.com/sports/astros/…
Because the Red Sox have been busted illegally stealing signs before and Red Sox manager Alex Cora was part of the 2017 Astros' sign-stealing scheme, people immediately jumped to conclusions that something nefarious was going on.

It looks like the Texans and Dolphins are getting closer on a trade for Deshaun Watson. The Texans play the Dolphins in three weeks.
bit.ly/3C2vGM7
A trade sending Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson to the Miami Dolphins could be finalized as soon as this week.
bit.ly/3C2vGM7
The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 2. If a deal isn't done by then, the Texans would have to wait until the offseason and try to make a trade before the draft on April 28.

The Texans play the Dolphins in Miami on Nov. 7.
