Ken Paxton Accused of Six Instances of Voter Fraud

Following reports linking him to a Denton County home, Mr. Paxton’s eligibility to vote in Collin County elections has been questioned, as voting in an improper precinct constitutes a second-degree felony. Despite this, voter rolls indicate Paxton cast ballots in Collin County during both the March Republican primary and the May general election.
