Episode Details

Texas Senate race heats up as Democratic candidate James Talarico faces accusations from The Federalist of violating election laws by switching voter registration to his mother’s address—just shy of the one-year residency requirement. But documents from The Current show Talarico moved into the district on November 5, 2021, 368 days before Election Day, meeting legal deadlines. His campaign counters that processing delays explain any timing gaps and cites a U-Haul receipt as proof he moved in. Meanwhile, Republican frontrunner Ken Paxton battles his own scandals—including fraud charges and impeachment—while polls show Talarico gaining ground, leading by five points. Talarico’s campaign sees the allegations as political smears, and he’s set to rally labor unions in San Antonio this Thursday to push his federal policy agenda amid the controversy.
