A civil lawsuit contesting a 66-vote Democratic primary in rural South Texas has uncovered a striking pattern, nearly 90 voters were assisted by just three county employees, raising hard questions about how the state's disability-voting safeguards are being used. Martha Morales, a Zapata County school board member, lost the March 3 primary for county judge to incumbent Joe Rathmell by 66 votes out of 4,517 cast. She filed a civil election contest alleging fraud involving assisted voters, duplicate ballots, a broken chain of custody, voter registration irregularities, and paid vote harvesting. The case is ongoing, and no court has yet ruled on the merits of her claims. But the numbers she is pointing to deserve scrutiny. Of those 4,517…Open
