The Texas attorney general is cracking down on Democrats in a supposed crusade to root out “voter fraud.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against supposed voter fraud appears to be targeting the state’s Democrats.

Last week, Paxton’s office announced raids and undercover actions against organizations in Texas it accuses of illegally registering noncitizens to vote. In practice, though, the raids have taken place against members of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the oldest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S., as well as several prominent Democrats in south Texas.

According to LULAC officials, the group’s members had their cell phones and laptops confiscated by law enforcement officials carrying out search warrants.

    But I’m not a citizen. Are you trying to run voter fraud?

      Check your TX voter registration at:

      Nothing was mentioned about registering to vote. Only checking if you are registered. If you are not a citizen, and you are registered to vote, that is cause for concern.

        I’m glad at least you correctly took it as a joke, seems it wasn’t otherwise very well received 😅
