Republican pays liberal activist for finding Republican voter fraud

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, about a year ago, put out a bounty to find verifiable voter fraud. He offered $24k and it turns out he had to pay up. The only problem is it kind of backfired. Per The Dallas Morning News:

But instead of going to an informant who smoked out fraud by Democrats, Patrick’s five-figure payout went to a progressive poll worker in Pennsylvania whose tip led to a single conviction of illegal voting by a registered Republican.

Eric Frank was the guy that got the check, props to Patrick for paying up.

Quote:

After Frank provided some documentation, the Patrick campaign sent him a check for $25,000. It was a lot for Frank but a drop in the bucket for No. 2 Republican in Texas, whose campaign coffers are flush with more than $23 million. Ethics expert Andrew Cates said the reward is allowed under Texas law, which restricts personal use of campaign funds — but only by the candidates themselves.

Looks like it'll be game changing money for Frank, which is awesome. It's also a bit awesome that it blew up in Patrick's face.
