The nation’s oldest Latino civil rights organization, LULAC, is one of several entities in Texas targeted in voter fraud raids led by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, CBS News has learned.
In a letter first obtained by CBS News, LULAC requested that the Justice Department investigate Paxton’s office for Voting Rights Act violations. The organization is accusing Paxton’s office of carrying out illegal searches premised on voter fraud.
“These actions echo a troubling history of voter suppression and intimidation that has long targeted both Black and Latino communities, particularly in states like Texas, where demographic changes have increasingly shifted the political landscape,” LULAC CEO Juan Proaño and the group’s national president, Roman Palomares, said in the letter.
He was acquitted of all charges. The “impeachment” was cover to prevent the FBI from getting fully involved.
Basically, “We’ve investigated
ourselvesand found no wrongdoing.”Hopefully we can get him out of office so that he can face whatever other charges he’s been dodging.
