Texas drops hammer on alleged vote-harvesting judge, officials after multi-year election crime probe
Paxton arrests six for alleged participation in a ‘vote harvesting scheme.’
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Wednesday six indictments and arrests in Frio County involving judges and other elected officials.
The individuals are accused of “election crimes related to a vote harvesting scheme.”
'Targeting these vulnerable voters to sway an election or secure a political position is a direct attack on the principles of our democracy.'
The arrests included Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, former Frio County Elections Administrator Carlos Segura, Pearsall City Council member Ramiro Trevino, Pearsall City Council member Racheal Garza, Pearsall ISD Trustee Adriann Ramirez, and alleged vote harvester Rosa Rodriguez.
A grand jury returned true bills for vote harvesting charges against all of the suspects. Camacho faces three counts, Segura one count, Trevino one count, Garza one count, Ramirez three counts, and Rodriguez two counts.
