Election Fraudster Charged in Texas After Being Exposed by Project Veritas

A San Antonio campaign worker seen in an undercover video last year appearing to persuade a woman to change her vote faces a long list of felony charges after being arrested Wednesday, according to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Raquel Rodriguez faces charges of election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail, and unlawfully possessing an official ballot, according to a press release from AG Ken Paxton’s office.

“Many continue to claim that there’s no such thing as election fraud. We’ve always known that such a claim is false and misleading, and today we have additional hard evidence. This is a victory for election integrity and a strong signal that anyone who attempts to defraud the people of Texas, deprive them of their vote, or undermine the integrity of elections will be brought to justice,” Paxton said in the release.

The release spelled Rodriguez’s first name as Rachel, even though public records for her repeatedly have it spelled as Raquel.

A San Antonio Police Department spokeswoman said via email Wednesday Rodriguez was taken into custody on the city’s East Side and that the AG’s office asked for assistance transporting Rodriguez, but referred all other questions about the arrest to the AG’s office.

According to the Attorney General’s office, investigators reviewed dozens of hours of unedited, raw footage before making the arrest. They also say she admitted on the recording that what she was doing is illegal and that she could go to jail.

If found guilty, Rodriguez could face up to 20 years in prison.
