US EditionTexas attorney general announces vote fraud charges against 6 people
- On May 1, six individuals from a rural Texas county were charged with felony vote fraud, among them two members of the city council, a school board trustee, and the Frio County Judge.
- The indictments come as part of a broad probe initiated by Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, following the 2020 election; the inquiry intensified after last year’s searches of the homes of Latino campaign volunteers.
- Most accused face third-degree felony vote harvesting charges involving alleged payments through Cash App for collecting absentee ballots, targeting elderly residents in a Pearsall subdivision in October 2022.
- Paxton stated that those in office who attempt to manipulate the system to maintain their positions will face consequences, while Latino advocacy groups dismissed the allegations as baseless and described them as a typical example of voter suppression.
- The case underscores recent changes in Texas's election laws that impose stricter voting restrictions and harsher penalties for vote harvesting, which critics argue could reduce electoral participation within Black and Latino communities.
