FRIO COUNTY, Texas – KSAT Investigates received the indictment paperwork of nine suspects, including a former candidate for the Texas House and two former mayors, in connection with a massive state-led election investigation on Thursday afternoon.

81st Judicial District Attorney Audrey Gossett Louis confirmed the following people were indicted on Monday in connection with the investigation:

Former Bexar County Democratic Party Chair and former San Antonio mayoral candidate Juan Manuel Medina on two counts of vote harvesting

Former Pearsall Mayor Petra Davina Trevino on one count of vote harvesting

Former Dilley council member Inelda Rodriguez on three counts of vote harvesting

Former Dilley Mayor Mary Ann Obregon on two counts of vote harvesting

Rachel Leal on one count of vote harvesting

Former Texas House candidate Cecilia Castellano on two counts of vote harvesting

Susanna Flores Carrizales on one count of vote harvesting

Precinct 3 Frio County Commissioner Raul Carrizales III on one count of vote harvesting

Pearsall ISD Board Secretary Maricela Garcia Benavides on one count of vote harvesting

Seven suspects, who do not include Medina and Rodriguez, turned themselves in to Frio County authorities on Wednesday.

The arrests are being appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Last year, the court ruled that State Attorney General Ken Paxton was allowed to continue investigating alleged vote harvesting cases.

It’s remarkable how if you find one cheater, there are always so many more.

Also, notice how they are all for ONE side

A minority OF a minority...it answers the constant question we all have when we hear one of them speak we always say "How does anyone THAT stupid get elected?"

They do NOT get elected... they are shoehorned into any position the DNC wants the to occupy!

With THOSE particular names, I’d bet that every single one of them in favor of keeping the border wide open for the illegal hordes.

Maybe their immigration background needs to be scrutinized a bit closer…

Oh, those pesky latinos...

Does anyone see a pattern in this?

Hopefully, somehow all these criminal trash will be deported to South Sudan. LOL.

It's up to fifteen now.

There should be no plea bargaining. Trial, conviction, and maximum sentence (10 years for vote harvesting in Texas). And with the defendents tied to the Demonicrat Party, it would be a travesty of justice to have any Demonicrat on the jury.

Yup

Also, remember all those saying we needed to out cheat the Dems.

( They were desperate to have the “ they did it too “ narrative angle in case they were ever exposed )

For sure...The thing is, no Trump agenda NEEDS to be forced. No Trump supporter needs to be schooled or coerced to see the logic and reason in voting for him!
