Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the indictments and arrests of six individuals, including multiple public officials, in connection with a vote harvesting scheme uncovered in Frio County, about 50 miles south of San Antonio.
The charges stem from a multi-year election integrity investigation conducted by the Attorney General’s Criminal Investigation Division, which executed search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties in August 2024. On May 1, 2025, a grand jury in Frio County returned indictments against the suspects following the presentation of evidence by Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and Paxton’s Election Integrity Unit.
Among those indicted are:
- Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting
- Former Frio County Elections Administrator Carlos Segura: 1 count of Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence
- Pearsall City Council Member Ramiro Trevino: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
- Pearsall City Council Member Racheal Garza: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
- Pearsall ISD Trustee Adriann Ramirez: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting
- Alleged Vote Harvester Rosa Rodriguez: 2 counts of Vote Harvesting
According to Paxton’s office, five of the six individuals were arrested on May 2. Judge Camacho has not yet been processed but is expected to be at a later date, Paxton’s office said.
“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,” Attorney General Paxton said in a statement. “My office will continue to work with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis to protect the integrity of our elections.”
Other recent arrests of judges include:
Judge Hannah Dugan – Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
On April 25, 2025, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI and charged with two federal felonies: obstructing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation by concealing an illegal alien to prevent his discovery and arrest. The charges are that she allowed an undocumented immigrant to exit her courtroom through a side door not used by the public, in order to help him evade ICE agents. Following her arrest, the Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended her from judicial duties pending trial.
Judge Rodolfo “Rudy” Delgado – Hidalgo County, Texas
Former Texas state district Judge Rodolfo “Rudy” Delgado was convicted in 2019 on multiple counts, including conspiracy, federal program bribery, and obstruction of justice, relating to accepting bribes in exchange for favorable judicial decisions. Delgado was sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Judge Allen Loughry – West Virginia Supreme Court
Allen Loughry, a former chief justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, was arrested in 2018 and convicted on 11 federal offenses, including wire fraud, mail fraud, and making false statements to federal investigators. He was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison and released in December 2020.
Judge Shelley Joseph – Newton District Court, Massachusetts
In 2019, Judge Shelley Joseph was indicted on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury for allegedly assisting an undocumented immigrant in evading ICE agents by allowing him to exit the courthouse through a rear door. In 2022, the charges were dropped as part of an agreement requiring Joseph to refer herself to the Massachusetts Commission on Judicial Conduct and make certain admissions. The Commission filed its own charges in late 2024, saying Joseph refused to cooperate honestly with disciplinary authorities and she brought disrepute to the judiciary. A public hearing is scheduled for June 9 in Suffolk County Superior Court, which will likely end with her removal from the bench.
It’s good to see justice finally happening. Judges should be the ones who know better than anyone and should be held to a higher standard.
Oh to see the judiciary ‘Hoist with their [his] own petard.’
Thank you William for casting such perfect phrase for acts such as this. (From Hamlet.)
Thank you for keeping us up-to-date with these cases of voter fraud. By doing so, you continue to perpetuate the misguided premise that elections are rigged, thereby poisoning the minds of those who are susceptible to such nonsense. The fact of the matter is that, while they exist, incidents of voter fraud are extremely rare, and are statistically so small as to never impact the result of a national election. Our elections are fair and free, and any effort to disparage them is reprehensible.
And furthermore, kudos for shining the spotlight on judges who have acted in a criminal manner. I had no idea that out of thousands of judges, a few might be—brace yourself—human. Thank you for bravely exposing that the justice system isn’t run by flawless individuals. Clearly, this proves that the entire judiciary is corrupt and that every court decision you don’t like is invalid.
You can also threaten, intimidate, and enact character assassination to take out your foes. Something we see constantly from those on the left. Some go as far as taking a firearm and shooting at a presidential candidate.
I can agree that there isn’t a bogeyman under every bed and some conspiracy theories are “way out there”, however, you absolutely trust our government way too much. I don’t believe incidents of voter fraud are that rare. And you know why? Just look around at all the vitriol and hate spewed by both sides of the political spectrum. There is plenty of motivation to mess with elections when people are so passionate that “their” candidate must win or our country is going to be destroyed.
What a streaming pile of dung.
.
First of all, any election fraud is to much. And it exposed a vulnerability that needs to be closed nationally.
.
The significance of it is irrelevant, a red herring to distract from the actual harm.
.
And the actual magnitude of vote fraud is unknown. There actually has to be investigations in order to measure the extent. Yet… very few have been conducted, despite extensive questionable events.
Investigate all you want. But it’s already been done, and very little was found. Remember Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity? Well, they disbanded because they couldn’t find any and even the Republican Vice Chair (Kris Kobach) stated that they couldn’t find evidence. I’m not saying that there is none out there – there certainly is some, and it’s statistically distributed between both parties, I’d guess. Of course none is acceptable, but it’s not the most important issue facing the Country at the moment (that would be Trump’s attempt to form a theocratic autocracy). In the same way, immigration is not the monster that it’s made out to be. Yet the MAGA crowd continues to push these two poisons on everyone just to keep people scared, agitated, brainwashed, and buying $TRUMP meme coin.
Cheating and breaking the law are ‘just being human’. No, it is just being criminal. Human or not there has to be consequences for breaking laws. I would suspect there is wide spread fraud across our nation including Alaska.
Assertions are one thing. Proof is another.
Judges need to be held to a higher standard as they have been appointed to protect the public however when they commit criminal fraud as they have been indicted with there is evidence of wrongdoing.
The penalty for them should be much higher but of course their cohorts will excuse them based on their relationship.
So, Dog, do tell me how many fraudulent votes should be allowed in any election. If those votes are counter to mine, that means I have been disenfranchised. You, of course, think that’s fine, since all of the fraud is on the democrats’ side. I, however, believe that you are all in on the fraud because it benefits you and because you just love to stand up for waste, fraud, abuse, Latin American gangs here illegally, imported rapists and murderers, and anything else conservatives have no use for. I think maybe you are on the wrong blog and should probably go hang out with your fellow travelers on some communist rag.
Zero voter fraud is acceptable, and as I state above, what there is of it is likely evenly distributed between both parties as it is a statistically random occurrence.
Oh and there’s that “waste, fraud, and abuse” phrase again that Musk planted in your head. Well guess what: He didn’t find much of that either, he ruined his reputation trying and failing, he destroyed essential government services in doing so, and he also damaged his precious Tesla brand. Yeah, he’s a genius alright.
I won’t comment on the rest of your vapid post, because it’s basically just a pithy recitation of other angry MAGA shouting points.
Have a lovely evening.
Take your blinders off.
Elon did not “damage his precious Tesla brand”.
That was done by a bunch of rabid neutered Democrat dogs
To be human is to be criminal? You know that’s not the way it works, right?
Consider researching game theory. In any system where two voters can produce a zero sum game it’s critical that the integrity of the information stream be protected from manipulation. The smallest alteration represents a statistical horror which is the opposite of what you assert.
Dog:
You might want to check the prescription on your meds. Or did you just stop taking them?
There are Liberals who are so thoroughly brainwashed they feel cheating is a noble cause. They have no guilt or remorse and given the opportunity they’ll repeat the offense.
How deep is this judicial crisis(?), we will continue to learn over the next 4-years.
Of course this could never happen in Alaska where the judiciary is controlled exclusively by the Democrat Party.
These cases are clearly further evidence of elections being rigged. By democrats. Its what they do. Riots to follow.
I think these rotten corrupt democrat/ communist/criminal judges being busted is really terrifying to the democrat/ communist/ morally corrupt democrat voter base, because lying, cheating, stealing and murdering is the only way they can ever win any election. As for “proof”, we have mountains of “proof”. But the criminals imbedded in our judicial and political system have been suppressing and destroying it. But the game is still afoot.
