The charges are the latest escalation in a probe that resulted in Texas authorities indicting six other Frio County area officials in May.

A South Texas grand jury this week reportedly indicted nine people, including the former chair of the Bexar County Democratic Party and a former Texas House candidate, for alleged vote harvesting in a sprawling investigation led by Attorney General Ken Paxton that has targeted Latino Democrats in the state.

Among the indicted were Manuel Medina, who once led Bexar County Democrats and served as a legislative aide, as well as Cecilia Castellano, who lost a bid last year to represent a district that includes Frio County in the Legislature’s lower chamber, according to KSAT, which first reported the development Wednesday.

The indictments add to six previous ones revealed by Paxton in May and are the latest escalation in a probe that last year resulted in search warrants that led Texas authorities to seize Castellano’s phone and raid Medina’s home.

No. Of course people try to cheat or make mistakes. Democrats say that mistakes and cheaters don't change the outcomes of elections. Glad they were caught.

No, Democrats have said over and over that this doesn't happen.

Open borders would mean no walls, no ice,etc
We have them
Duh

See the Schengen zone in Europe for an example of open borders
You can drive from France to Germany, no one checks or stops you for example
We aren't like that
Duh

Bingo. Like with Biden letting all the illegals into the country.

Democrats during the Biden administration: "The border isn't open."

It never was.

Tell us if Dems are letting Latinos in the country to increase their voter base, but Latinos keep swinging toward Trump, what's the point?
 
The article doesn’t include what the alleged “ballot harvesting” entailed -
Who wants to bet it was something as simple as picking up a ballot for an elderly person and dropping it off for them?

Democrats do say it happens. Just isn’t something that sways elections.

Of course MAGA are/were dumb enough to believe all of the democracy haters who swore that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen.

Remember 2000 jackasses? 🤣🤣🤣
 
With Paxton weilding the law, its an upside down world

Were any of the ballots themselves illegal?

I have no idea. Hopefully what happened will be evaluated using evidence and the law and not partisan grievance.

Details are sketchy, but nearly as sketchy as crooked-ass Paxton.

We’ll see out it shakes in court. 🤷‍♂️

You didn’t prove anything. You just said the border wasn't open.

Come on Mr Prove it guy. You constantly tell people to "prove it" in the most idiotic instances, but you are unable to do it yourself.
