Woman Arrested In U.S. City For Illegal Voting, Faces 20 Years In Prison – AG

The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton has announced that security forces have arrested one Rachel Rodriguez for “election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail, and unlawfully possessing an official ballot” at November 3, 2020 United States presidential election.

This was disclosed in a press release published on the Texas Attorney General’s website on Wednesday.

Paxton said Rodriguez was marked for probe after an investigative outfit (Project Veritas) floated a video showing how “she engaged in vote harvesting leading up to the 2020 election.”

A video footage had captured her saying among other things, that she might end up in jail for her actions.

“The Election Fraud Division of the Office of the Attorney General reviewed dozens of hours of unedited, raw footage, which led to this arrest.

“In an uncharacteristic moment of honesty, Rodriguez acknowledged on video that what she was doing is illegal and that she could go to jail for it. If convicted, Rodriguez could face up to 20 years in prison,” the release partly read.

However, the Attorney General was silent on which candidate or party the woman committed the alleged voter fraud for.

Out-going President Donald Trump had repeatedly claimed that there was widespread voter fraud during the election, but authorities acknowledged isolated cases of breach of the process but found no evidence of widespread fraud as claimed by Trump.
