Six people, including multiple public officials, have been arrested and charged as part of a long-running investigation into an alleged “vote harvesting” scheme in a rural Texas county against vulnerable seniors during 2022 and 2023 elections.
“The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system,” Texas Attorney General Paxton said in a statement Wednesday announcing the arrests. “Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law.”
