Citing โfalse and misleading statements,โ attorney for arrested SA campaign worker wants warrants tossed out
Raquel 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 Paxtonโs office. Some of the charges against Rodriguez were enhanced because the woman sheโs 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. Fridayโs filing states the AG investigator intentionally used โmisstatements and material omissionsโ 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.
