First-hand stories from South Texas' struggle to curb pervasive voter fraud

South Texas has a rich history – and that includes a history of voter fraud. Texas Watchdog has been examining fraud in the mail-in ballot system that election officials say is pervasive throughout the region. We have followed key players in this story for months, from political workers charged with voter fraud, to the elderly who say they have been taken advantage of, to elections officials looking to the legislature for solutions.

The video report below tells some of their stories.
