Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, discussed voting rights, redistricting and Texas’ voter ID law at a panel in Austin on Sept. 28 and made the argument that the Affordable Care Act would not have passed into law without “voter fraud.”
Abbott, speaking at the Texas Tribune festival, said Minnesota Senator Al Franken won his seat, which was decided by a 312-vote margin, because of voter fraud and that his subsequent vote on the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, wouldn’t have been cast.
