Flopping Aces: More arrests! On Wednesday, the Texas Tribune ran a story headlined, “Frio County public officials among six indicted after elections investigation, Paxton says.” The sub-headline explained, “The county judge, two city council members and others are accused of vote harvesting.”
As part of a widening election integrity investigation by Texas’s terrific Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Frio ‘County judge’ (like a county mayor), the former supervisor of elections, two Pearsall City Council members, a school board member, and a person who helped “harvest votes” were each charged and arrested under a post-pandemic law.
All were Democrats.
Paxton brought the charges under Texas’ Senate Bill 1, passed in 2021, which makes it a third-degree felony for a person to knowingly provide or offer “vote harvesting services” for compensation (with certain exceptions). Violators can spend up to 10 years in prison and be fined up to $10,000 for offering banned services. Activists immediately challenged the law, arguing it suppresses minority voters, who apparently can’t vote by themselves like everyone else.
The case remains in litigation, but Paxon got the federal appellate court to lift a stay.
The search warrants stated that the arrested officials either knowingly provided “vote harvesting services” for money, or, in the case of the former elections administrator, tried to conceal and destroy evidence. The crimes involved collecting and submitting batches of absentee ballots. Several defendants allegedly used Cash App to pay harvesters. more
Relax. Democrats are above the law. And anyway, everybody knows there’s no such thing as election fraud so this is Fake News from the fascist nazi hitler MAGA ultraconservative Trump cultist poopy-heads.

As a nursing student in my first clinical rotation, I saw this happen at an Alameda nursing home in 2016. Ballots were flying around a facility where many residents were mentally incapacitated. I also saw a Middle Eastern family helping grandma (who obviously wasn’t a citizen) fill out her ballot.
Ballot racket, covid racket…probably a Social Security racket, a federal subsidy racket and whatever else they can scheme to squeeze the last bit of life out of our elders.
Election fraud?
‘Is it them again?’
‘…It’s always them boo boo’.
Ugh. My dad was from Pearsall, as is George Strait. Sad to see this black mark.
Now LBJ has the sadz.
