The charges surprised #Latino #VotingRights activists, who had insisted that a series of #law enforcement raids on political operatives & voting organizers, some who were in their 70s & 80s, appeared to have been #political. The raids last August by #KenPaxton’s office were part of a sprawling voter *fraud* inquiry in Latino enclaves near San Antonio & in South Texas, conducted by Paxton’s “election integrity unit.”
