I am writing this to piece together the dishonesty that has been presented to the Constituents of the 81st House District of West Texas. The current incumbent has told the Citizens of HD 81 that during his tenure he has increased election integrity and ensured that there are “stiff penalties” for voter fraud in Texas that he proudly passed. This is use of hyperbole and flat out dishonest.
The facts are that Brooks Landgraf voted in favor of reducing penalties of voter fraud from a State Felony to a CLASS A MISDEMEANOR. ( PLEASE SEE EXHIBIT B ) He then went on to send out a mailer and flyer he handed out at town halls that claim that he increased penalties for voter fraud. Representative Landgraf either has cognitive dissonance or he is intentionally lying to the people of the Great State of TEXAS.
I urge you to read SENATE BILL 1 as it was presented, modified and passed. It is clear that our Representative intentionally misrepresented the truth.
In a time where voters are worried that their votes do not count, we have our elected Representative gutting the election integrity bill and voting to reduce the penalties for voter fraud.
Does anyone believe that this will eliminate election fraud, or will it embolden the criminals by giving them an opportunity to further destabilize our elections?
