Texas Judge and 5 Other Officials Arrested on Vote Fraud Charges, State AG Announces

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has indicted six individuals, including local officials, for vote harvesting and evidence tampering in South Texas. The charges follow raids targeting Democrat-linked operatives and have reignited debate over election integrity and voter suppression.

Key Facts:

  • Six individuals, including a county judge and city council members, were indicted for voter fraud in Frio County, Texas.
  • Charges stem from AG Ken Paxton’s investigation into illegal vote harvesting linked to Democrat campaigns.
  • The indicted are accused of using CashApp to pay for ballot collection, which violates Texas law.
  • Raids by Paxton’s election integrity unit drew criticism from Latino advocacy groups and prompted calls for a federal probe.
  • One defendant is charged with tampering with mail-in ballot records to obstruct a future investigation.

The Rest of The Story:

The indictments follow months of investigation into illegal ballot collection in Frio County and nearby areas.

Texas AG Ken Paxton’s team conducted raids last August, including on elderly community members and political operatives with ties to Democrat campaigns.

The charges filed now name current and former officials, including Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, ex-elections administrator Carlos Segura, and others.

Five of those charged are accused of paying individuals to collect mail-in ballots, violating a 2021 state law signed by Governor Greg Abbott.

That law bans third-party delivery of ballots and criminalizes financial incentives for vote gathering.

One official is charged with destroying or hiding key election documents.

The investigation began with a tip from Republican District Attorney Audrey Louis.

Paxton, now running for U.S. Senate, has emphasized this case as proof of real election fraud, countering national claims that such crimes are rare or insignificant.

Commentary:

For years, Democrats and their media allies have dismissed Republican concerns over voter fraud as conspiracy theories.

But when arrests do happen, the evidence almost always points toward fraud benefiting Democrat-aligned figures or operations.

This case out of Frio County is no exception.

The six indictments expose how deep the alleged vote harvesting operation may go—reaching into city councils, school boards, and the county judge’s office.

That should alarm every Texan, especially those who still believe in honest elections.

Attorney General Ken Paxton deserves credit for refusing to back down despite political pressure.

His election integrity unit is doing the work others refuse to do: holding local officials accountable when they cross the line.

If the allegations are true, these weren’t harmless mistakes—they were calculated moves to sway elections by gaming the system.

We hope Paxton turns over every stone in this case.

If the accused are guilty, they should face real jail time.

That’s not just justice—it’s a warning to anyone else plotting to tamper with our elections.

The Bottom Line:

Texas AG Ken Paxton’s investigation has resulted in six indictments, raising serious concerns about election fraud linked to Democrat officials.

The accused allegedly violated state laws on vote harvesting and evidence handling.

While critics claim voter suppression, the charges paint a picture of systemic abuse.

Voters deserve transparency and consequences for those who cheat the system.
