From Texas Scorecard
A massive investigation is underway in Tarrant County as law enforcement officers from the Texas Attorney General’s Office investigate a vote-harvesting scheme alleged to involve as many as 20,000 ballots.
Last month, Texas Scorecard reported that Tarrant County Elections administrator Frank Phillips disclosed the AG's Office had launched a criminal investigation into voting abnormalities in Tarrant County.
The investigation was the result of a complaint filed by Aaron Harris, of Direct Action Texas, an organization that also uncovered significant errors in HIll County's primary election results.
Today, Harris confirmed that AG investigators have been spotted on the ground in Tarrant County interviewing witnesses. In a statement released online, Harris claimed the investigation is into a vote harvesting scheme involving as many as 20,000 ballots.
"We have heard rumors for years of manipulation of the elections system in Tarrant County and thought it was time for someone to look into the facts. Direct Action Texas spent countless hours analyzing open records requests, noticing patterns and discovering Fort Worth voters whose voice was stolen. This vote harvesting operation preys on the elderly and the economically disadvantaged, who are among our most vulnerable neighbors.
Our research has shined a light on a covert, yet pervasive network – to the tune of 20,000 ballots, over four years, primarily within the African-American and Hispanic communities. All indications are this is the largest investigation related to voter fraud the Attorney General’s office has ever seen. This research has uncovered major flaws in the election code and its enforcement. We were happy to assist the AG’s office in their investigation, which led to today’s developments. Given the magnitude of this issue, we must reform the election code to restore the integrity of the process"During an exchange with the Tarrant County Elections Committee, Phillips suggested the AG investigation was related to suspicious activity surrounding mail-in ballots. At the time, the magnitude of the investigation was unknown.

Bullshit. Voter suppression, juan!
Every time a story about vote harvesting comes up, it is the votes of Blacks and Mex-Americans. Where are the stories about harvesting White/Anglo/Asian votes?
Why do Blacks or Mex-Americans sell their votes or are so easily duped? There is another story here that isn't being told.
This story makes me hungry for a big plate of chitlins
Hey! Come to CC! Tarrant County aint got shit compared to CC!

The Democrats continue to make promises to the poor and minorities and yet we have more poverty in the U.S. than ever. Democrats have failed their voters, but apparently "ignorance is bliss".
