Usually, the Democrats get preferential treatment in the courts, but not so for Fort Bend County Judge KP George, as a judge announced that he will not dismiss the indictment for the misdemeanor charge of misrepresenting the identity of a candidate.
George was caught in a social media hoax with his former chief of staff, Taral Patel.
The Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office released the following statement:
“This office is committed to protecting the integrity of the political process in Fort Bend County, regardless of who is implicated in the offenses. Voters are entitled to a fair and transparent electoral system that is not undermined by deceptive, divisive, and inflammatory political communications. The misrepresentation of identity law – and this office’s enforcement of that law – is intended to deter others from engaging in the conduct described in Mr. George’s indictment.
“We look forward to presenting this case to a jury and seeing that justice is done in this important matter.”
