Texas attorney general announces vote fraud charges against 6 people

  • Six people, including Frio County's top official and local elected members, were indicted on felony charges on May 1 in rural Texas.
  • The indictments come as part of an extensive election fraud investigation initiated by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, focusing on alleged vote harvesting following the 2020 election.
  • Most accused face third-degree felony vote harvesting charges involving alleged payment via Cash App for collecting absentee ballots, targeting elderly residents in Pearsall.
  • Paxton said officials who cheat to retain power will be accountable, while Latino activists called the charges unsubstantiated and described them as 'voter suppression 101.'
  • The case expands an ongoing investigation including raids last year on Latino volunteer homes, none of whom have been indicted, highlighting tensions over Texas’s tightened voting laws.
