Voter fraud claims are heating up a battle for political control in an oil-rich Texas county

MENTONE, Texas — One of the worst-kept secrets in Loving County sits along the shoulder of a desolate stretch of state highway in the heart of the Permian Basin.

It’s a sprawling ranch with a sunbaked adobe home that the Pecos River flooded out years ago, nestled near a trailer and a mobile home on stilts, all behind a padlocked gate.

Eleven people are registered to vote at this address. One of them is Loving County Commissioner Ysidro Renteria, who has been in office since 2011 and listed this property in December as his permanent address on his application to run for re-election, signed under oath. He and at least three relatives used the address to vote in the March primaries.

“No one lives there,” Loving County Sheriff Chris Busse, who also serves as the registrar of voters, said in May. “I can attest that I’ve been here since 2008 and there has never, ever, ever been any of the Renterias — not even Ysidro — occupying it.”

You will be charged with a felony if you are a Democrat.

That's the Republican Party's idea of "Freedom".

do something and stop this sort of thing from happening (or submit unimpeachable evidence of this fraud to the Courts so they can throw out elections that were rigged like this).

Makes you wonder just what elections valid, w/ this type of fraud are going on (they'll tell their buddies elsewhere of this fraud and before you know it, it's everywhere).

and go after these frauds who are committing voter fraud. Dems need to turn take this so-called fake issue from tRUMP, and throw it in his face by showcasing the multiple cases of voter fraud committed by republicans everywhere.
