A south Texas justice of the peace was arrested along with three other individuals who face 150 charges of voter fraud altogether.

Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez was arrested on Feb. 11 and is charged on 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, KABB reports.

He was arrested with Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez, and Mary Balderrama. All four were indicted by a Bandera Grand Jury on Feb. 9.

Garza, Martinez, and Balderrama were each charged with organized election fraud. They also face multiple charges of illegal voting, unlawful possession of a ballot or ballot envelope, election fraud, fraudulent use of an absentee ballot by mail, tampering with a government record, and purportedly acting as an agent.

According to the Texas attorney general's office, the case against Ramirez and the others involves allegations of vote harvesting at assisted living centers in Medina County in the 2018 Medina County Primary Election. Ramirez was elected as a justice of the peace in 2018 and was suspended from his position after his arrest.

In a statement, Ramirez said he was "stunned" by the allegations and denied all charges against him:

I was stunned by the allegations because there is absolutely no truth to them. I have spent the last 27 years building my law practice and serving in this community which has created my reputation for fairness, sincerity and integrity. I entered the race for JP because I wanted to serve Medina County and make the office function better for its citizens. I feel I have done exactly that up to this point.

Don't worry - the 2020 "election" was the cleanest ever.

Nobody cheated.

Tip of the iceberg.
For ever culprit arrested and charged in Texas, their are dozens or hundreds more they couldn’t go after.

And for every state like Texas that is at least pursuing symbolic prosecutions in the spirit of deterrence, there are many states that turn a blind eye.

I’ve noticed that — on those rare instances when someone is actually convicted of voter fraud — that it is always connected to a demonrat primary. Never to a general election, which is where the convictions are actually needed.

"always connected to demonrat primary."

It is up to the individual rats to win their primary.

The DNC will take care of the General.

In south Texas they don't tolerate corruption they demand it.

But the Democrats will be along to tell us that we’re going to lose no matter what. Their message here to conservatives is, “Stop voting! Give up!”

And, if it happened in Texas, just imagine how bad it was in states with Democrat governors, AGs. and SOSs
