The article I am writing comes from The Empower Texans blog, which is a conservative leaning blog. The article, which involves voter fraud in a Texas county can be found here. The author is Ross Kecseg and his bio is listed at the bottom of the page. The article is honestly written much better than I anticipated, with almost no detectable partisan wording or agenda. It seems to just be reporting on an issue in the community. I immedieatly expected a slanted viewpoint and left wing hate, but refreshingly all I found was an informative article with no bias or prejudice being presented, a rarity for an online blog. In Tarrant county, apparently a voting scheme involving more than 20,000 votes has been discovered. “The investigation was the result of a complaint filed by Aaron Harris, of Direct Action Texas. Today, Harris confirmed that AG investigators have been spotted on the ground in Tarrant County interviewing witnesses. In a statement released online, Harris claimed the investigation is into a vote harvesting scheme involving as many as 20,000 ballots.” The author covers the material in a professional manner and offers little opinion, even those this is a blog designed for just that. If this is indeed going on, it brings up many questions regarding mail in ballots, which are a much less secure form of voting. I feel like the author relies too heavily on other information, and we get no idea of the sources motivations. This could just be a group of people looking to make the system work, but I highly doubt it.
