Citing ‘false and misleading statements,’ attorney for arrested SA campaign worker wants warrants tossed out
Read full article: Citing ‘false and misleading statements,’ attorney for arrested SA campaign worker wants warrants tossed outRaquel Rodriguez (left) 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. Some of the charges against Rodriguez were enhanced because the woman she’s accused of instructing to change her votes was older than 65. An attorney representing Rodriguez revealed Friday, however, that his client is the niece of the woman shown in the video. Friday’s filing states the AG investigator intentionally used “misstatements and material omissions” to get a judge to sign the arrest warrants. Rodriguez is free on bond awaiting trial, but faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the charges.
