Nueces County clerk: Mail-in voter fraud remains a concern
Nueces County Clerk Kara Sands had a blunt message for members of the commissioners court on Wednesday.
"Election fraud is real in Nueces County," she said. "There's a problem."
Sands gave a presentation to county commissioners to inform them of new legislation passed last year by the Texas Legislature. She focused specifically on Senate Bill 5, which enhanced penalties for those committing mail-in voter fraud (it is now a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in prison). The bill also expanded the definition of what constituted mail-in voter fraud.
Sands said her office was gathering documentation and other information to turn over to the Texas Attorney General's office related to reports of mail-in voter fraud in Robstown. That impropriety reportedly occurred in November 2017, as well as during a runoff election the following month.
