Rochelle Garza, did Democrat candidate for attorney general has vowed to disband and replace Ken Paxton's election integrity unit, which she calls "wasteful."
Paxton, like other Republicans in the state, assert that it is important to pursue election fraud, while Democrats discount it, saying that election fraud is rare in Texas, and portray Republicans as using the issue to push legislation that makes it harder for minorities to vote.
In a tweet posted yesterday, Garza said:
"As your Attorney General, I will replace Ken Paxton's wasteful "election integrity unit" and I will make sure voting rights are protected so that EVERYONE'S vote counts."
"As your Attorney General, I will replace Ken Paxton's wasteful "election integrity unit" and I will make sure voting rights are protected so that EVERYONE'S vote counts."
In launching the election integrity unit just before last year's local elections, Paxton called it a "concentrated effort to devote agency lawyers, investigators, support staff, and resources to ensuring this local election season is run transparently and securely."
