Texas Senate nominee James Talarico has been hitting his Republican opponent Ken Paxton with claims of corruption, yet an undercover video suggests the Democrat may be living in a glass house.
The video was published by Townhall and features an organizing manager with the Democrat-aligned political action committee Texas Majority PAC talking about a program that “essentially” serves as “a roundabout way of paying people for their votes.”
“We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to, like, learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all these bad things,” a man identified as Sky McAdams said in the clip. “So, it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.”

McAdams was speaking about what he called the “Paid Relational Program,” noting that it’s illegal to pay someone to vote for a specific candidate while suggesting the “creative” program was a workaround.
“You can’t be like, here’s $25, go vote for me. You can say attend a one-hour class, and you can receive $25,” he explained, before adding, “If I was a Republican, I would be p*ssed. I would be like, that’s shady as f*ck.”
The story serves as yet another chapter in the ongoing saga about how the Democratic Party allegedly functions as little more than a criminal organization.
Republicans are also accusing Talarico of “blatant corruption” over consulting work he performed for a progressive firm while serving on the Texas House’s influential Public Education Committee, according to Fox News. Talarico’s campaign has called the alleged “textbook pay-to-play scheme” a “lie.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
@TheDemocrats cheating to win. Shocker. It’s the only way they can and do. Lying. Cheating. Paying voters. Mail fraud. Illegals voting. Dead people voting. Ballot harvesting. And on and on.

Talarico’s entire “popularity” and his campaign movement is one big astroturf to drive polls and opinions. And has been since the start. It’s what they attempted to do with Kamala. Brat summer, etc.
They also have an army of thousands of bots to reinforce the message and divide…— Snarknado

Wake me up when Republicans have the balls to start arresting these people. The fact that they’ve done nothing to secure elections proves that the fraud works in their favor in select races.

Sky: “You can’t pay someone to vote for someone”
“If I was a Republican, I would be pissed.”
Good thing voter fraud doesn’t exist or this could have been a story with consequences.

All they know how to do is cheat. It’s almost like they know their ideas aren’t popular.

The $500K filing proves a paid relational program and a recorded organizer calling it a workaround warrants fast, independent review. pic.twitter.com/ygv5mld7zS
