Hey Texas, show us how much you love freedumb.
A copy of a wide-ranging search warrant left with one of the people targeted, LULAC volunteer Lidia Martinez, 87, of San Antonio, offered a window into the investigation’s interests. The warrant ordered the seizure of all electronic devices at her home, allowed for the opening of documents that were business-, organization- or election-related, and authorized swabbing for DNA. According to the warrant, the purpose of the search was to look for evidence of violations of the Texas election laws regarding vote harvesting and identity fraud.
Ken Paxton is a complete piece of shit.
Medina’s home was also “forcibly entered” in the early morning of Aug. 20. According to a filing from his attorney, officers woke up Medina, his wife and two young daughters, and “rummaged through the residence” for seven hours, the attorney said, searching through the living spaces, closets, kitchen, bathrooms, garage and the family’s bedrooms. Officers seized 65 cellphones and 41 computers and storage devices, the filing said.
Wait a minute, wtf? Who has 65 mobile phones at their home?
“There’s a reason Joe Biden brought people here illegally,” Paxton said on a radio show earlier this month. “I’m convinced that that’s how they’re going to do it this time, they’re going to use the illegal vote. Why were they brought in, why did he bring in 14 million people? He brought them here to vote.”
Paxton falsely claimed that immigrants were being given Social Security numbers at the border as part of the scheme, too. There’s no evidence of that, or that noncitizens cast ballots in any significant numbers.
Back to Ken Paxton is a complete piece of shit.
Castellano said she felt the search was political intimidation, adding that she’d been told two other people who had volunteered for her campaign were been served warrants.
Can we please get a copy editor who’s competent? No? Ok, just checking.
At the news conference, Martinez said nine people had shown up at her door to execute the search warrant. She said her family asked her to stop her volunteer work with LULAC, as well as any voter registration efforts, because they're afraid she'll go to jail.
The intended effect.
The phones are probably for the volunteer organization. It's not uncommon to see things like that so they can run phone campaigns where they call everyone on their list trying to raise funds or let them know about certain events.
Heck, I have about 10 phones in my own house, there's about 20-25 at my in-laws.
Me because I keep old gadgets
In-laws because they have 8 children, and instead of the trash they just toss old phones into a box for anyone who breaks the new one.
being under threat your life will be tossed like a jail cell is a typical viable threat for anyone in the US and no matter who wins the election this year police are sure to win as always with funding aplenty
