Texas Must Defend the Integrity of Its Elections
Free and fair elections are the foundation of self-government. When elections are insecure, poorly administered, or lack transparency, public trust erodes and lawful votes are diluted.
Texas has made important progress, but vulnerabilities remain—outdated voter rolls, inconsistent county procedures, mail-in ballot abuse, and systems that rely too heavily on centralized processes. Election integrity is not about partisanship; it is about ensuring every legal vote counts equally and only lawful ballots are counted.
Secure elections protect voters, strengthen confidence in outcomes, and preserve the legitimacy of representative government.
Confidence in Elections Is a Civil Right
Every eligible citizen has the right to vote—and the right to know that their vote is not canceled out by fraud, error, or manipulation.
Elections should be transparent, verifiable, and conducted under uniform standards that apply across Texas. Security and accessibility are not competing values; when elections are secure, participation rises because citizens trust the process.
Texas must continue to lead by enforcing clear rules, modern safeguards, and accountability at every level of election administration.
What Rick Supports
Rick Abraham supports practical, enforceable election integrity reforms that protect lawful voters while preserving confidence in the system. These measures are grounded in accountability, transparency, and equal treatment under the law.
- Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote
- Mandating regular, quarterly voter roll maintenance by counties and the Secretary of State
- Enforcing photo ID requirements for all elections, without exceptions
- Restricting mail-in ballots to eligible voters only (disabled, military, or out of county for the entire voting period)
- Using hand-marked, sequentially numbered paper ballots on anti-counterfeiting paper
- Counting ballots at the precinct level, with results published before county aggregation
- Standardizing in-person voting procedures statewide to reduce inconsistencies
- Closing party primaries to registered party voters only
- Strengthening enforcement authority under the Election Code to deter violations
Why This Matters to Texans
Texans expect elections that are honest, orderly, and beyond reproach. When procedures vary widely between counties or rely on centralized systems with minimal transparency, confidence declines—even when no wrongdoing is proven.
Secure elections protect:
- Voters, by ensuring equal treatment statewide
- Candidates, by guaranteeing legitimate outcomes
- Communities, by preventing post-election conflict and distrust
Election integrity is not about restricting voters—it is about protecting every lawful vote and preserving faith in representative government.
Rick Abraham’s Leadership on Election Integrity
Rick Abraham understands elections not just as a candidate, but as a conservative leader who has worked inside party organizations and legislative environments where rules, transparency, and procedure matter.
He supports election reforms that are enforceable, constitutional, and grounded in accountability—not political theater. Rick will stand firm against pressure to weaken election safeguards and will fight to ensure Texas elections remain secure, transparent, and trusted by voters across the state.
For Rick, election integrity is fundamental to everything else government does.
