A hat tip is owed to our sister site Townhall, because the undercover video they shared in mid-September that captured a manager for a Democrat political action committee seemingly admitting to paying people for their votes has now reportedly prompted a Department of Justice investigation.

The committee, called the Texas Majority PAC, is funded by all sorts of the Usual Suspects, including billionaire agitprop maestro George Soros, and was founded by veterans of Beto O’Rourke’s failed Senate, gubernatorial, and presidential campaigns.

In the Townhall video, the PAC’s manager, Sky McAdams, was caught saying he paid people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class in a "shady as f***” scheme that was a "roundabout way of paying people for their votes.”

He was promptly fired — but now the feds reportedly want to know more:

The department has not officially announced the investigation, but Rep. Pat Fallon (TX4) had implored Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier this month to look into the matter:

On September 18, Texas Rep. Pat Fallon wrote a letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche to launch an investigation into Texas Majority PAC. "Free and fair elections are the backbone of our constitutional republic," Rep. Fallon wrote in the letter. "They are what set this nation apart from our adversaries, and what have allowed the United States to become the greatest country in the world. Americans deserve to participate in elections that are free of illegal immigrant voting, foreign adversary financing, and especially shady political organizations that seek to purchase the votes of Americans and tarnish a privilege afforded to our nation's citizens."

The news comes as weirdo Dem candidate James Talarico is in a tight battle with GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton for a Lone Star State Senate seat. Although the PAC is designed to help all Democrats across the state, Fallon wrote in his letter that right now its chief job is serving as “a pro-James Talarico political action committee.”

The idea was simple: it is illegal to pay people for their votes, so pay them for something else and give them a wink, wink, nudge, nudge:

"We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all these bad things," Sky McAdams, a former organizing manager at the Texas Majority PAC told an undercover reporter in a video obtained by Townhall.

"So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially, which is interesting," said McAdams. When the undercover reporter asked what the program was called, McAdams said it's called the "Paid Relational Program."

He had more, adding that if he was on the other side, he’d be ticked off by the slippery tactics:

I think 'Rally Texas' is the official name," McAdams continued. "You can't pay someone to vote for someone. 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,' and then the class just talks about, like, the importance of voting."

"It's a creative way to kind of... but right now we could use all the help we can get," the reporter says in response.

"Yeah, you know, like, if I was a Republican, I'd be pissed. I'd be like, 'that's shady as f---.'"

Assuming the reports are true, the DOJ is about to find out just how shady that is.
