Andrea Greer, Burnt Orange Report blogger of Voter Fraud: If Abbott & Cruz Smelt It, Who Really Dealt It?, writes an eye-catching
article on Texas Republican Politicians seamlessly adding in quotes about voter
fraud with no actual proof to back up their claim to get media coverage points.
The writer is aware of using “fourth-grade humor” so don’t
let their choice of vocabulary catch you off guard. Greer documents the
argument with background evidence from major sources like Houston
Chronicle and other supported hyperlinks in the article. Being
said Greer reasoned that even though that voter fraud is an important topic the
media only seems to cover it when like a Republican candidate Senator Ted Cruz
or Texas Governor Greg Abbott talk about it ignorantly.
While reading the article this quote/question is something to think about,
"Are Abbott, Cruz, and other Republicans so focused on voter fraud
because they themselves engage in it, and therefore assume everyone else
does?"
Also as you read the article you can tell
how confusing on why would some of the known Texas Politicians would even bring
up voter fraud out of no where.
Such as, "Both Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee worked with a consulting firm that they let go after evidence surfaced that the consultant was committing fraud like registering dead people to vote—but that didn’t even happen in Texas."

It’s more so obvious that Greer is against Republicans, but
this is also an open argument to where Republicans could also agree that
repetitive use of a important topic is get covered by the media can be
annoying. Do I agree with Greer? In a more compose matter (that’s less
bias), I agree. But I say that I wouldn’t solely point fingers towards the
Republican side for both parties could have used this tactic.
A/N: From one of the cite sources used by Greer, I've found an interesting article to follow up after this one, "Lightning strikes more common in Texas than in-person voter fraud...."
