On Oct 24, the conservative watchdog group, “Project Veritas.” James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas broke a story about an investigation in San Antonio that has implicated some Republicans in important races. Any form of voter fraud and election fraud is illegal, and it should be prosecuted. But was this investigation about justice or political intrigue?
Ballot harvesting is the gathering and submitting of completed absentee or mail-in voter ballots by third-party individuals, volunteers, or workers, rather than submission by the voters themselves directly to ballot collection sites. Project Veritas discovered a woman who was paid to gathering and processing the votes for candidates.
Voter fraud and election manipulation are nothing new to Texas or even American politics. From Boss Tweed in 1860’s New York City to George and Archie Parr in the 1940-60s in south Texas, voter and election fraud have existed.
