Despite the narrative Democrats have tried to push for years, a new bombshell development has revealed that voter fraud is real.
Specifically, Texas officials have been charged with felony vote fraud and face up to 10 years in prison for an elaborate ballot harvesting scheme that targeted elderly voters.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced criminal indictments against six individuals.
These include a county judge and elected officials who used digital payment apps to fund their illegal operation.
The investigation reveals how Democrats in rural Texas counties attempted to manipulate election results.
Six individuals in Frio County, including two City Council members and a school board trustee, have been indicted following an election investigation led by Paxton.
Among those charged are Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, Pearsall City Council members Ramiro Trevino and Racheal Garza, Pearsall ISD Trustee Adriann Ramirez, and Frio County resident Rosa Rodriguez.
Former Frio County Elections Administrator Carlos Segura faces charges of tampering with evidence.
These indictments stem from a vote-harvesting operation. A felony in Texas, vote-harvesting typically involves payment for collecting and submitting absentee ballots.
Some officials are accused of using the Cash App to pay for these illegal services.
“Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law,” Paxton said in a statement announcing the charges.
The vote-harvesting scheme specifically targeted elderly residents in a Pearsall subdivision, exploiting vulnerable voters.
The investigation began after the 2020 election as part of broader efforts to address voter fraud.
Mary Moore, Camacho’s opponent in the 2022 Democrat primary for county judge, initially reported allegations of vote harvesting.
According to investigators, the main vote harvester went to extraordinary lengths to avoid detection, including hiding ballots and using different vehicles to evade surveillance.
The charges come as Texas continues to strengthen its election integrity laws.
A federal appeals court recently upheld Texas’s law tightening voter restrictions and increasing penalties for vote harvesting.
All six defendants face third-degree felony charges that carry up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
While Latino rights activists have criticized the investigation as politically driven, evidence suggests a coordinated effort to manipulate election results through illegal ballot collection.
This case represents one of the most significant election fraud prosecutions in Texas in recent years and validates concerns about ballot harvesting operations across the country.
Paxton’s office has made election integrity a priority, pursuing cases that demonstrate the real threat of organized vote fraud schemes.
The Frio County case serves as a warning to officials who might consider similar illegal tactics.
It also provides evidence that proper investigations can uncover and prosecute election fraud, despite Democrats’ claims that such fraud is virtually non-existent.
