Russ Casey was a Justice of the Peace in Tarrant County, Texas. He was running for re-election in the Republican primary when he was discovered to have forged his petition signatures. Ironically, this came to light as his accusations of that exact same thing against his primary opponents were being investigated. He pleaded guilty to voter fraud and was sentenced to probation. This is notable in that he committed voter fraud in the same county as the Black woman Crystal Mason who got ten years.

However, he seems to have skated on the more serious allegations of indecent exposure, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse brought by his former clerk. He apologized to her and that settled it for her.
