The 2016 Candidate Resume Fraud Folder
The 2016 Candidate Resume Fraud Folder is dedicated to documenting the truth on Texas candidates (Democrats and Republicans) who have fraudulently exaggerated or purposely omitted key information about themselves to deceive or hide information from voters. For contemporary case studies of candidate resume fraud, please view the documentation in the Candidate Resume Fraud Folder on candidates Philip Hayes, Dawn Buckingham, Boris Miles, and others. Updates will be added throughout the 2016 election.
