Binghamton sentenced to 11.5 years for weapons charges
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A Binghamton man will spend nearly 12 years in New York State Prison for weapons charges. Broome County District Attorney Paul Battisti announced that Dorian Raysor, 33, was sentenced to 11 ½ years in prison to be followed by 5 years of post-release supervision for Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree, and Tampering with Physical Evidence. The sentence is the result of an investigation conducted by the Broome County Special Investigations Unit Task Force. On the day of the incident, Task Force members were conducting surveillance in a hotspotarea of Binghamton when they observed Raysor adjusting an object in the front of his waistband. Upon making contact with him, Raysor fled the scene on foot. During the pursuit, he discarded a handgun and a holster. Officers later recovered a loaded FN .45 caliber handgun. 'This conviction is the result of strong, coordinated police work and a commitment to keeping illegally possessed firearms off our streets. Mr. Raysor's actions posed a serious threat to public safety, and this sentence reflects our office's dedication to holding violent offenders accountable. I thank the jury for their service and the SIU Task Force for their tireless work,' said Battisti.

Texas AG Paxton would get expanded powers to target elections under new law
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) would gain the right to investigate elections in Democratic districts under a new bill passed by the Texas Senate on Tuesday. H.B. 5138 now heads to Gov. Greg Abbott's (R) desk, where it joins H.B. 45, which gives Paxton broad new powers to fight 'human trafficking.' Put together, the new bills would give his office the ability to investigate alleged trafficking or election fraud in any jurisdictions — regardless of the wishes of local communities or the elected district or county attorney. Paxton has long used allegations of human trafficking to target nonprofit groups that provide aid to recent migrants. If Abbott signs the elections bill, Paxton — who has announced his intentions to primary incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R) next year — would get new powers to prosecute alleged election crimes anywhere in the state, something state courts have denied him. In 2021, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) ruled that Paxton could only get involved in local elections if asked to by a district or county attorney, as The Texas Tribune reported, a ruling that Abbott explicitly criticized last year. That ruling created a structural problem, however, for the faction of Texas Republicans, including Paxton, that has long insisted election fraud is rife in Texas's Democrat-run jurisdictions. That didn't stop Paxton's office from raiding Democratic activists — and the candidate herself — during last year's race for a tightly contested state House district after the Democratic incumbent stepped down. The Republican in that race, former Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, ultimately won in a campaign that cited Paxton's investigation into his opponent, Cecilia Castellanos, as evidence of her malfeasance. Up until Tuesday's bill passage, however, the attorney general's ability to investigate local candidates like Castellanos was limited to those jurisdictions where he could find a district or county attorney to partner with — a requirement that H.B. 5138 would free him of. Paxton has long conflated migration and election fraud. In one notable case from last year's election, Paxton insisted Democrats had secret plans to 'illegally register noncitizens to vote in our elections,' a claim that originated in a friend-of-a-friend story on Fox News that local Republican county officials later debunked. Democrats' plan was to 'tell the cartels, 'Get people here as fast as possible, as many as possible, we're not going to make them hide anymore — we'll get them placed in the right states,'' Paxton told conservative talk show host Glenn Beck last year. 'They want to fix the election so that we have a one-party country that we can't fix.' During last year's election, Paxton also sued Bexar and Harris counties, two of the state's largest Democratic strongholds, for a voter registration drive that he claimed aimed to register noncitizens to vote.
