Head of Latino Democratic group has his house raided for voter fraud.
For some weird reason the dude had 65 cell phones on hand during the raid that were confiscated.
He's accused of violating laws pertaining to mail ballot fraud and obtaining or possessing identifying information about other people without their consent
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/ken-paxton-latino-democrats-raids-19720940.phpLongtime Bexar County political consultant Manuel Medina was among a group of Latino Democrats whose homes were raided Tuesday as part of a voter fraud investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Agents “forcibly entered” Medina’s home early Tuesday morning, waking up his family, including two young daughters, and proceeded to search the home for about seven hours, according to court documents. They seized documents, 65 cell phones and “41 computers (and) digital and other storage devices.”
Medina chairs Tejano Democrats, the largest Latino Democratic political organization in Texas, and is the former head of the Bexar County Democratic Party. He is currently working on the campaign of House District 80 Democratic candidate Cecilia Castellano. Castellano’s home was also raided Tuesday.
He blasted the effort as a politically motivated attempt to hurt Castellano, whose Republican and pro-school vouchers opponent Don McLaughlin has been endorsed by all of the state’s top Republicans, including Paxton. McLaughlin is also the former mayor of Uvalde and led the city at the time of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Medina said he knows of at least 13 search warrants that have been executed over the last few months to people involved in the House District 80 race.
