The Texas Attorney General’s office indicted a Democrat county judge and arrested several public officials, accusing them of scamming voters by engaging in an illegal vote ballot harvesting scheme.
A former Frio County elections administrator, a Frio County vote harvester, two Pearsall city council members, and a Pearsall school board member were all arrested last week on charges of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and vote harvesting, with Frio County Judge Rochelle Camacho also facing three counts of vote harvesting, while her “processing” is postponed for a later date.
“The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system,” reads a statement from Texas AG Ken Paxton.
The AG’s office explained the arrests stem from cooperation with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and a probe by its Criminal Investigation Division, which looked “into credible allegations of vote harvesting.”
“On May 1, 2025, Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and the Election Integrity Unit of the Office of the Attorney General presented a criminal vote harvesting case to a grand jury in Frio County,” Paxton’s office wrote.
Here’s a list of the indicted and arrested public officials:
- 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, Ramiro Trevino: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
- Pearsall City Council, Racheal Garza: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
- Pearsall ISD Trustee, Adriann Ramirez: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting
- Alleged Frio County Vote Harvester, Rosa Rodriguez: 2 counts of Vote Harvesting
KSAT.com has a breakdown of the charges the public officials face:
Trevino is accused of knowingly providing vote harvesting services to Camacho in exchange for money, gas, lunches and/or employment with Frio County,” in September 2022, the indictment states.
According to his LinkedIn page, Trevino began working as the Frio County Human Resources Director in March 2023.
Garza is accused of using Cash App to pay for vote-harvesting services, court records show.
Rodriguez, who faces two counts of vote harvesting, is accused of paying Camacho for vote harvesting services in May 2022, records state. Rodriguez is accused of paying for vote-harvesting services again in May 2023, with the payment going to Ramirez.
Segura is accused of concealing 2023 applications to vote by mail “with the intent to impair the availability of the documents and records as evidence in any subsequent investigation related to the offense,” records show.
Ramirez is accused of making three separate Cash App payments to a woman in April 2023 in exchange for vote harvesting, records indicate.
The left-leaning Texas Tribune noted the legal mechanism by which Paxton pursued the arrests:
Paxton brought the charges under Texas’ Senate Bill 1, passed in 2021, which makes it a third-degree felony for a person to knowingly provide or offer “vote harvesting service,” – or the collection of ballots – in exchange for compensation. Under the law, organizers of voter outreach groups and volunteers could spend up to 10 years in prison and be fined up to $10,000 for offering these services.
“Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law,” reads Paxton’s statement.
