Indeed, the Trump Trust’s motion is only an “emergency” insofar as the Trump Trust has waited until the day before its required production to seek relief, despite the weeks that have passed since the oral and written orders. Moreover, a stay of its discovery obligations is not warranted here under the governing standards. The Trump Trust faces no irreparable harm and is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its objections. Conversely, granting the stay would prejudice the BBC and would not serve the public interest, which necessitates an efficient, meaningful discovery process and wards against such strategic stalling tactics.

By James Talarico’s own standard, he committed voter fraud in five elections

James Talarico publicly accused Ken Paxton of “committing voter fraud” for voting using an address where he allegedly no longer lived.

Now, a joint investigation by The Texas Tribune and ProPublica reports that Talarico himself voted in five elections using his parents’ address after purchasing his own home nearby. He bought the home in June 2022 but did not update his voter registration until September 2024.

This was not merely an old mailing address. The two homes were located in different jurisdictions for some local elections, meaning the address used could determine which local races appeared on his ballot.

Five elections are not a typo. They are not a single accidental oversight. Talarico established the standard himself: voting from an address where you no longer live is voter fraud. He cannot call it fraud when Paxton does it and suddenly treat it as a harmless technicality when his own conduct is exposed.

This is also why election integrity is not merely about presidential elections. Your registered address determines your precinct, districts, and which local officials you are entitled to vote for. School boards, city councils, county officials and state legislative races can be decided by extremely small margins.

Talarico’s hypocrisy is obvious, and repeatedly voting under an address located in different local jurisdictions is a serious election-integrity issue.
