Texas AG Ken Paxton has taken another step to distance himself from Sen John Cornyn, the man he intends to replace in the US Senate. He has arrested six people involved in an illegal vote harvesting scheme, including a Democratic judge in Frio County.
The individuals were arrested on Friday excluding the Frio County Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho who will be processed at a later date.
The Texas Attorney General’s website reported:
Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the indictments and arrests of six people, including several public officials, for election crimes related to a vote harvesting scheme in Frio County.
“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,” said Attorney General Paxton. “My office will continue to work with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis to protect the integrity of our elections.”
In August 2024, Attorney General Paxton’s Criminal Investigation Division executed multiple search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties as part of a multi-year election integrity investigation into credible allegations of vote harvesting. On May 1, 2025, Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and the Election Integrity Unit of the Office of the Attorney General presented a criminal vote harvesting case to a grand jury in Frio County. The grand jury returned true bills for the following indictments:
