Texas Watchdog updates on Shreddergate, Texas voter fraud
TEXAS WATCHDOG has been busy today.
Steve Miller has broken an important story on voter fraud in south Texas. Obviously, that's a bit outside our usual coverage area, but we thought it would be helpful to call it to the attention of our faithful readers at 801 Texas Avenue, in case the Chronicle editorial board would like to revise their previous characterization of Voter ID legislation as an unneeded, partisan effort by Republicans "fearful for their future political viability." Surely, journalists at the Chronicle and across the state can no longer rely on the assertion by a Rice sociology professor that "There is no credible evidence" that voter fraud is a problem in Texas. If a small journalism nonprofit with limited resources can run a truck through that assertion, we look forward to seeing what some of the bigger, better-funded news operations in the state can do.
Jennifer Peebles follows that story with an interesting look at some METRO internal correspondence related to Shreddergate and obtained through public information request. Some of it can only be described as bizarre.
