(TNS) — The Texas Attorney General's office spent nearly twice as much time working on voter fraud cases this year as it did in 2018 — logging more than 22,000 staff hours — yet resolved just 16 prosecutions, half as many as two years ago, records show.
All 16 cases involved Harris County residents who gave false addresses on their voter registration forms. None of them received any jail time.
