There was more great election integrity news yesterday. First, Texas Attorney General (may he soon be the US’s Attorney General) Ken Paxton announced an investigation into groups helping illegal aliens register to vote.

That was good news. But it was also great news that they’re using undercover investigators. I can’t recall recently hearing that investigative technique ever applied to election integrity. Maybe they got the idea from watching Project Veritas and James O’Keefe.

The announcment of the investigation was itself an election security achievement, in the sense that it discourages illegal voter registration just by existing.

The next story ran in local KUNR Public Radio, headlined “Nevada Supreme Court declines to hear Secretary of State’s election certification case.” It began when Washoe County Commissioners refused to certify two June primary races following widespread allegations of voter fraud. Then, Nevada’s Secretary of State sued the Commissioners, arguing they may not refuse to certify elections for fraud, but must certify the results regardless of whatever they think about how the election was conducted.

Rather than decide the Secretary’s case, Nevada’s Supreme Court deferred, dismissing it it moot. Now, county officials all over Nevada can withhold certification if they believe cheating occurred. They can wait for the facts, and won’t have to automatically vote ‘yes’ under duress.

It was another small but critical win in the election integrity war. There are so many of these tiny battles happening all over the country it is impossible to keep up with all of them. Be encouraged.
