I’ve blogged about AG Greg Abbott’s highly partisan crusade against voting fraud, for which he’s being sued, here and here. Now the Lone Star Project, which has done some exhaustive work on Abbott’s questionable methodology, has done it again by showing that Abbott has failed to pursue a similar case of voting fraud that occurred in the wealthy and highly Republican area of Highland Park, even though it was referred to him for prosecution by the Dallas County District Attorney. Funny how Abbott is happy to tout examples of fraud that he alleges were committed by Democrats, but hasn’t touched this one in months, isn’t it? PDiddie gives an executive summary and some further background. Check it out.
And yes, we can do better than this for the position of the state’s highest attorney. We deserve better than this.
