Texas AG Announces Arrest of Judge, 5 Other Officials on Vote Harvesting Charges

According to The Washington Post:

‘Ballot harvesting’ is the name given to a practice in which a third party secures absentee ballots. Texas law limits this practice and bans ballot harvesting using paid third parties to round up ballots.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a news release on his website:

The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system. Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law.

Further:

My office will continue to work with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis to protect the integrity of our election.

The release listed those charged and the charges they face.

The individuals indicted are:

 – Frio County Judge, Rochelle Camacho: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting;
