A Texas mayoral candidate was arrested Wednesday night and faces felony voter fraud charges after allegedly sending 84 applications for mail-in ballots. My office is prepared to assist any Texas county in combating this form of fraud," Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. County and state investigators issued a search warrant on his home in Carrollton and discovered 25 ballots, the Denton County Sheriff's Office said. Box had been obtained with a fake Texas driver's license and a false University of North Texas student ID. "Voter fraud is a serious and widespread issue and cannot be tolerated," Denton County Sheriff Tracey Murphree said in a statement.
