Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused of voter fraud and affair

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is under scrutiny for allegedly voting in six elections while registered at a Collin County address he no longer occupies. Election experts say the practice could constitute a second‑degree felony, punishable by up to $10,000 in fines and 20 years in prison. Critics note that Paxton, who has promoted strict voting‑law enforcement, may have violated the residency requirements he himself publicized.

Separately, Paxton was reported to have spent the Fourth of July weekend in England walking with Christian influencer Tracy Duhon, whom media outlets describe as his alleged mistress. The trip, documented near the London Eye, has drawn criticism amid his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat, where he faces Democrat James Talarico in a tight race. Opponents argue the overseas vacation reflects poorly on his patriotism and personal judgment.
