Ken Paxton faces voter‑fraud accusations and campaign‑finance probe in Texas Senate race

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, has been accused of voting from an address where he no longer lives in six elections, prompting a complaint to the Texas secretary of state and raising allegations of voter fraud. Paxton declined to comment on the voter‑registration issue during recent press events.

Separately, Paxton’s Senate campaign acknowledged that it accepted contributions exceeding the $3,500 per‑election limit. The campaign refunded or redirected $17,500 in flagged donations after a Federal Election Commission letter, and the FEC has repeatedly queried the campaign about larger contributions that may violate federal law.

Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, Paxton’s opponent, has highlighted these controversies while contending with his own public‑relations challenges during town‑hall events across Texas.
