AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Six people in a rural Texas county, including two City Council members and a school board trustee, have been indicted in a widening elections investigation led by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, bringing felony charges to a case that Latino rights activists have criticized as politically driven.
The top executive in Frio County, home to about 18,000 residents, a county elections worker and a local resident were also among those indicted on May 1, Paxton said Wednesday. The charges expand an investigation that included raids last year on the homes of Latino campaign volunteers near San Antonio, including an 87-year-old woman, although none of them have been indicted.
Most of the six are charged with what is known in Texas as vote harvesting, a felony that often involves payment for collecting and dropping off other people’s absentee ballots. Several of the officials indicted in Frio County are accused of using Cash App to pay for vote harvesting services.

Taxpayer-funded lobbying involves local governments and public entities using public funds to hire lobbyists who often advocate for policies contrary to the interests of the very taxpayers funding them. Critics argue that this practice creates a conflict of interest and serves as a backdoor mechanism for well-funded entities to influence policy in ways that may not align with constituents’ desires.
- Public Mistrust: Taxpayer dollars are meant to serve public interests, not private lobbying agendas.
- Resource Misallocation: Local governments and associations spend millions on lobbying efforts that could be better utilized for public services.
- Conflicted Priorities: These lobbyists often oppose initiatives such as property tax reform, school choice, and election integrity.
