Montgomery County “voter fraud” case update
Glad to hear this. The whole case is ridiculous.
Read the whole thing, it’s good stuff. I’ve noted this case before, and had a couple of conversations with Jenkins’ co-defendant, Adrian Heath. We’ve basically established that there’s no enforceable standard of residency for candidates, so it’s really unclear why the book was thrown at these guys. In searching for an image to use with this post, I came across this site that was put up in support of Jenkins et al. The base domain name and some of the links don’t work any more, but click around, there’s a lot of useful background on this case, which to my mind is more about Greg Abbott claiming a “vote fraud” scalp that didn’t involve Democrats of color than anything else. See also the Texas Election Law Blog, whose proprietor is a supporting player in this drama. I’m glad that Jenkins got a new trial, and I wish him and his co-defendants the best of luck in beating the rap.
