Ultra-MAGA Judge Edith Jones of the 5th Circuit peddles deranged conspiracy theories about mass voter fraud and "ballot harvesting," declaring that mail voting "is a rich field for fraud" that's frequently exploited by "operatives" attempting to steal elections. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
![Following the electoral chaos caused by the COVID pandemic,
Texas modernized its election security laws. S.B. 1 aimed to make “the
conduct of elections . . . uniform and consistent throughout [the]
state[,] . . . reduce the likelihood of fraud in the conduct of elections, protect
the secrecy of the ballot, promote voter access, and ensure that all legally cast
ballots are counted.” Tex. Elec. Code § 1.0015. Because “the potential
and reality of fraud is much greater in the mail-in ballot context than with inperson voting,” S.B. 1 added additional election integrity provisions to
prevent mail ballot fraud. Veasey v. Abbott, 830 F.3d 216, 239 (5th Cir. 2016)
(en banc). Mail ballots are more susceptible to fraud because they render
election workers incapable of knowing what happens to the ballot once it is
mailed out. Due to the inherent vulnerability of mail ballots, “[f]raud is a real
risk that accompanies mail-in voting.” Brnovich v. Democratic Nat’l Comm.,
594 U.S. 647, 686, 141 S. Ct. 2321, 2348 (2021). In particular, “[v]ote buying
schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” Id. at
685, 141 S. Ct. at 2347 (quoting Report of the Comm’n on Fed. Election
Reform, Building Confidence in U.S. Elections 46 (Sept. 2005)).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreic5uwmtwbnt53dr6x5i7gch7x4fan6cbt6ywnyafhtl3the7qpjd4@jpeg)
![One particularly common form of “mail ballot fraud” is known as
“vote harvesting.” Vote harvesting describes a process whereby paid
election operatives “generate applications for mail ballots in . . . targeted
precincts.” Operatives often go door-to-door, talk to voters, and get them to
sign up to vote by mail. More nefariously, vote harvesting can also be
accomplished by paid operatives forging applications for voters without the
voters’ knowledge or consent. Later, once the voters receive the mail ballots
that were requested by canvassing or by forgery, the same partisan operatives
return to collect the voters’ completed mail ballots. As part of the ballot
collection process, the partisan operatives ensure that the ballots were cast
for a particular candidate.
Unsurprisingly, mail-in voting is a rich field for fraud. Between 2004
and 2021, 72% of all election prosecutions undertaken by the Texas Attorney
General involved mail ballot fraud. “[I]t should go without saying that a State
may take action to prevent election fraud.” Id. at 686, 141 S. Ct. at 2348.
Faced with evidence of mail ballot fraud, Texas enacted S.B. 1, which
contained multiple provisions to address mail ballot fraud.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiezavaobhc6uyymcnwkbl45gvxs42id3yecrb2myvunggrswfaxki@jpeg)

PETE HEGSETH, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2]
United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and
policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement
rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these
issues.
Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military
servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental
obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary
Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over
the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiclbgaenrhgnor6zvmnfql4d3olwzqp7zikm3maum5ylc4m6epys4@jpeg)
