Eleven people are registered to vote at this address. One of them is [the] Loving County Commissioner ..., who has been in office since 2011...
[The commissioner] earns about $55,000 a year for the part-time job of commissioner. His half-brother and nephew’s trucking company has earned more than $4.7 million doing road maintenance for Loving County since 2015...“No one lives there,” [says the] Loving County Sheriff...Loving County’s long history of rancorous politics has generated allegations of voter fraud dating to the 1940s...For years, [the sheriff] said, there wasn’t much he could do about voters who didn’t actually live in the county. Texas voter residency law was loose, allowing people to vote in places they didn’t live but intended to return to someday, so long as they had homes there.Then, last year, in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen, the Texas Legislature passed a law that tightened the definition of residency for voter registration.
