Simmons says DA over-reaching in Crystal Mason Case

The Second Court of Appeals has spoken in the case of Crystal Mason.

The District Attorney’s efforts to retry the Mason case is an attempt to keep Tarrant County in the national news on the disproven issue of widespread voter fraud.

Instead of spending taxpayer dollars on a case that has gone through exhaustive litigation, appeals and final resolution, our DA should be focused on reducing the backlog of viable cases he has.

And, if his Election Integrity Taskforce were worth the tax dollars we’re wasting on it, the DA’s taskforce would investigate and prosecute cases like that of Angel Hidalgo whose candidacy for MISD Board of Trustees Place 2, has been declared ineligible because he was not registered to vote when he filed to run. Subsequently, Hidalgo cast a provisional ballot in the Republican Primary which was later rejected because his voter registration was not in effect when he tried to vote. Additionally, Hidalgo checked the box on the provisional ballot affidavit stating he had never been issued a Texas Driver's License, ID Card, or Social Security Number.

It is maddening to me that our DA is worried about a woman who has been acquitted.

Again, another waste of taxpayer dollars by the Tarrant County Republican regime currently terrorizing constituents including law abiding citizens like Ms. Mason.
