Four people were arrested in Texas last month on 150 counts of voter fraud dating back to the 2018 Medina County Primary Election, according to reports.

The Texas attorney general’s Election Fraud Unit on Feb. 11 arrested Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez, and earlier detained Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez and Mary Balderrama on election fraud allegations, News4SA reported.

According to a release from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, the case involved allegations of vote harvesting at assisted living centers in Medina County in the 2018 Medina County Primary Election.

Ramirez faces one count of organized election fraud, one count of assisting voter voting ballot by mail, and 17 counts of unlawful possession of a ballot or ballot envelope, according to the news outlet.

Balderrama is charged with one count of organized election fraud, nine counts of illegal voting, two counts of unlawful possession of ballot or ballot envelope, one count of mail ballot application, two counts of unlawfully assisting voter voting by mail, two counts of tampering with government record, and eight counts of election fraud.

Garza faces a single count of organized election fraud, two counts of illegal voting, eight counts of unlawful possession of a ballot or ballot envelope, two counts of election fraud and four counts of fraudulent use of an absentee ballot by mail.

Martinez is charged with a single count of organized election fraud, nine counts of illegal voting, 28 counts of unlawful possession of ballot or ballot envelope, three counts of purportedly acting as an agent, five counts of tampering with government record, 14 counts of election fraud, and four counts of fraudulent mail ballot application, according to News4SA.

The Texas attorney general’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The Epoch Times.

In a separate incident, Raquel Rodriguez, a Texas woman who bragged about being able to deliver thousands of votes for tens of thousands in cash was arrested in January on charges including election fraud and illegal voting.

Rodriguez was filmed during an undercover project by Project Veritas, an investigative journalism nonprofit. She was recorded in footage released last year that she could deliver “at least 5,000” votes “county-wide” for $55,000 in cash and that it would hire her “entire team.” She acknowledged what she was discussing could land her prison time.

Based on the footage, Paxton, a Republican, opened an investigation. That probe led to the arrest, Paxton announced on Jan. 13.

Rodriguez faces a prison sentence of up to 20 years if convicted.

Makes you wonder what they would find if they actually investigated the other claims of voter fraud in other states.

Maybe they'd find systemic voter fraud that actually affected the last election . . .

Maybe.

This folks is how you stop election fraud. When enough people end up behind bars it puts a big damper on cheating.

Our Attorney General Ken Paxton will have our unwavering support.

If Texas can lead the way, others will surely follow.

This whole thing reminds me of something I read about 30 years ago regarding high quality office and home printers:

The government is less worried about a guy printing a hundred thousand $50 bills and more concerned about a million guys, each printing one $50 bill to go to dinner. That is harder to stop with police work. You can barely make a dent in it, but the impact is greater. One solution is to just make sure that when you DO catch someone, you throw the book at them.

That is what they need to do here.

I notice there’s a common factor with the suspects.

I fully expected this to be some kind of Republican being prosecuted...even though I believe Leftist Election Fraud to be 100,000 times more common.

I agree, but it won’t stop until the book is thrown at a lot of people higher up.

They will ALWAYS be able to find stooges to take the fall for them. The Democrat party is like every other organized crime family.

Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez:

But...

John Roberts said there were no "Republican" or "Democrat" judges.

“4 Arrested in Texas on 150 Counts of Voter Fraud”

This is a start, but it always seems to be a spit i the ocean.

I look forward to reading “4,000 Arrested in Texas on 150,000 Counts of Voter Fraud”

If the FBI can find 300 people to arrest for the January 6 entry of the capitol building, why can’t they find the tens of thousands who committed vote fraud?

Actually, I am a proponent of taking both of the courses...we can hardly nip it in the bud anymore, but...we should go after the little fry as well as the big ones.

ALWAYS after the fact. When it doesn’t matter.

That’s why they get away with it.

I will pay attention when they arrest the County Clerk of Harris County for what he did, without authority, and against all state level legal advice, during the 2020 election.

Don't count on it. States like Kalifonia, New York, & Illinois are a haven of corruption and will never change.

Rodriguez was filmed during an undercover project by Project Veritas,

She was so open during the filming because she thought she was training someone to do the same things in other states. I wonder if Paxton may agree to a lighter sentence if she gives up her other trainees.

Did I say California, New York or Illinois? No, I said "others" will surely follow. We only need a small handful of states to nullify and codify DC out of our lives.

It will secure the outcome of elections in Texas and that is what matters.

Texas is going to nullify and codify DC out of our lives. These arrests are a vital step to ensure that happens and the will of the people of Texas is carried out.

Legislatively, we will begin by nullifying federal gun laws and again our Governor, Lt Governor and Attorney General will have our unwavering support in these efforts.
