By Kelly Mena, CNN - Yesterday 8:09 PM


A week after the 2020 election, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced that he was offering up to $1 million -- paid from his campaign account -- "to incentivize, encourage and reward people to come forward and report voter fraud."

Nearly a year later, Patrick, a Republican, has paid out his first reward: $25,000 to a Democrat in Pennsylvania, who reported a man for voting twice.

Eric Frank, a poll worker, received the money earlier this month for his part in reporting Ralph Holloway Thurman, a Republican who after voting once, attempted to vote a second time as his son, as first reported by the Dallas Morning News.

Frank reported Thurman after he recognized the 72-year-old came back and attempted to vote again with a "dark baseball hat and Ray Ban sunglasses." Thurman pleaded guilty and was sentenced in September to three years probation, according to court documents. Frank noted he wasn't supposed to be at the polls the day of the election but was asked to fill in last minute by his father, an election judge.

"It was just ironic -- it's my opinion that (Patrick) put up, they put out this bounty to try to find Democrats committing voter fraud. And in fact, it was the complete opposite of what their intentions were," Frank said......................................................................................

No one has come forward to claim it except a Democrat who found Republican voter fraud. Bet Dan Patrick had to go puke after owning that lib.

Why would someone need to be motivated by money to report voter fraud if they had genuinely witnessed any? Trumpies would be willing to lie to claim there was evidence of massive voter fraud. But the problem is that in order to get the money, they actually have to provide evidence that leads to a conviction. That's a whole lot different than what Trumpies do in lying through their teeth to create their own fantasy that can't be proven in the real world. And that's why so far, only one person has claimed money. There is no evidence of massive voter fraud in Pennsylvania, or anywhere else. Dan Patrick made a pretty safe bet.
