The investigation stemmed from a referral from Audrey Gossett Louis, a #Republican DA from the 81st Judicial District, which includes Atascosa & Frio Counties, where TXAG #KenPaxton’s office conducted some of the raids.
Paxton’s *election integrity* unit was created after #Trump made false claims of fraud in the wake of the #2020election, & Republican-led states sought to crack down on supposed voter crime. Experts have found that voter fraud remains rare.
At the time, the League of United #LatinAmerican Citizens, one of the nation’s oldest #Latino #CivilRights organizations, said that officers conducting the raids took cellphones, computers & documents. An 87-year-old retired educator described heavily armed officers barging into her home & taking personal items.
#LULAC leaders accused the famously *conservative* AG #KenPaxton of trying to #suppress Latino voters & asked the #DOJ to investigate the raids.
The charges surprised #Latino #VotingRights activists, who had insisted that a series of #law enforcement raids on political operatives & voting organizers, some who were in their 70s & 80s, appeared to have been #political. The raids last August by #KenPaxton’s office were part of a sprawling voter *fraud* inquiry in Latino enclaves near San Antonio & in South Texas, conducted by Paxton’s “election integrity unit.”
A half-dozen people, including a county #judge, 2 #CityCouncil members & a former county #election administrator, were indicted in #Texas on Wednesday for “vote harvesting” & tampering with evidence, elevating AG #KenPaxton’s charges of voter *fraud* by mostly #Latino #Democrats to a #criminal level.
