Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick offered cash rewards for proof of voter fraud. Now, tipsters worry he won't pay upAUSTIN Days after the election, when Donald Trump was calling for evidence of voter fraud to reverse Joe Biden's win, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick came to his aid by offering massive cash rewards to anyone who turned over proof of illegal voting.
Patrick's bounty quickly went viral. He offered a minimum reward of $25,000 to anyone who provided proof of voter fraud to law enforcement. The incentives were necessary, the Republican said, to ferret out potential illegal voting and "restore faith in future elections."
More than two months later, there is no evidence of widespread fraud during the 2020 election. Of the small number of arrests nationwide, most involved isolated instances of illegal voting that would not have changed the results for either party.
But now, tipsters who claim to have rooted out these rare cases of fraud are having difficulty figuring out how to get the reward money they say Patrick promised them. The lack of information about how to apply for one of these voter fraud rewards has prompted at least one tipster to question whether Patrick intends to live up to the promise.

Dan won't live up to his promise, particularly since Lt. Gov. Fetterman (D) - Pennsylvania will use his share of the reward to run for the Senate.

OP
The only significant evidence of TX election tampering is Patrick's offer of bribe money.

and the cheapskate will ask indicted Attorney General, Ken Paxton, to represent him on the taxpayer's dime. However, Paxton's record in court is somewhat dismal.

You didn't yell loud enough, no reward.

that he still owes PA Lt. Gov. Fetterman a couple mil. Is he trying to raise that?

He's a trump pimp, for Christ-sakes. That alone ought to tell you all you need to know about his willingness to pay his debts.

Along with the 70+ millions spent by Dark Money to promote the propaganda, lies, payoffs to Congress and Senate advocates, and coordinate the hate crews leading to Jan 6th.

Today, you need to have a personality disorder to be a Republican. They are unreliable by definition.
