Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than six American citizens, including several public officials, have been indicted and arrested in connection with alleged election fraud in Texas.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on Wednesday by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton via a post on his official X handle.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the individuals were implicated in election-related offences linked to a vote-harvesting scheme in Frio County, Texas.<\/p>\n

The arrests followed the execution of search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties in August 2024, after a multi-year investigation conducted by Paxton\u2019s Criminal Investigation Division.<\/p>\n

Those arrested include Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho, former Frio County Elections Administrator Carlos Segura, and Pearsall City Council Member Ramiro Trevino.<\/p>\n

Also named were Pearsall City Council Member Racheal Garza and Pearsall ISD Trustee Adriann Ramirez, who faces three counts of vote harvesting, as well as alleged vote harvester Rosa Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

According to the report, all six individuals were taken into custody on 2 May 2025.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing, led by Paxton\u2019s Election Integrity Unit in collaboration with the Frio County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
