Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick on Tuesday said he is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to an arrest and conviction for voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. “I support President Trump’s efforts to identify voter fraud in the presidential election and his commitment to making sure that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is disqualified,” Patrick said in a press release. Jim Clancy, former chairman of the Texas Ethics Commission, challenged the ethics of paying out a cash reward, saying it would be improper if it's being used to help prove Trump's questionable claims of voter fraud. But Sherry Sylvester, a spokeswoman for Patrick, pushed back on Clancy’s suggestion, saying the offer was about voter fraud "regardless of the outcome of the election" and restoring public confidence in the electoral process.
