Q: How is this different than the READER act? Patrick: That law was deemed unconstitutional. Ms. Wallace says the books are “dark, demonic content.”

Texas state Rep. James Talarico voted in five elections using his parents’ address after purchasing a home for himself nearby, a practice that may have violated state voting laws, @kaylaguo_ and I found. propublica.org/article/james…

James Talarico Accused Ken Paxton of Voter Fraud. His Own Voter Registration Is Raising Questions.

ProPublica and The Texas Tribune’s review of the Democratic Senate candidate’s residency records found that he may have voted in up to five elections using an address where he no longer lived.
