Texas Democrats blast state attorney general over voter fraud raids
A Latino voting rights group called for a federal investigation after its volunteers said Texas authorities raided their homes and seized phones and computers as part of an investigation by Republican State Attorney General Ken Paxton into allegations of voter fraud.
The investigation is part of an Election Integrity Unit that Paxton formed in his office. Paxton’s office did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The federal Justice Department declined to comment.
