Texas GOP Senate candidate Paxton has been voting illegally, report suggests
About this episode
The episode discusses allegations of voter fraud against Texas GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton with investigative reporter Zach Despart.
Texas Attorney General and Republican candidate for Senate, Ken Paxton's marriage fell apart two years ago when his wife accused him of having an affair and she moved out of the house they shared. According to new reporting from the Texas Tribune and ProPublica, the address of that house is still on Paxton's voting registration even though he hasn't lived there for years and does not appear to be going back. Zach Despart, Texas Tribune investigative reporter, talks with Jen Psaki about why Paxton may have committed voter fraud, and why that would be an especially rich irony.
