The group's volunteers allege that they were targeted by the investigation, raising concerns about voter suppression tactics.
Probe Highlights Voter Fraud Concerns
The Texas Attorney General's office is investigating allegations of voter fraud in the 2022 midterm elections. The probe has included raids on homes and offices of individuals suspected of voter fraud.
Civil Rights Group Raises Concerns
The Texas Civil Rights Project claims that their volunteers were targeted by the investigation despite the lack of any evidence of wrongdoing. The group alleges that the investigation is politically motivated and intended to intimidate Latino voters.
DOJ Investigation Requested
The Texas Civil Rights Project has called on the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the Texas Attorney General's office. The group argues that the investigation is violating the civil rights of Latino voters and undermining the integrity of the electoral process.
Ongoing Investigation
The Texas Attorney General's office has not yet commented on the request for a federal investigation. The investigation remains ongoing, and it is unclear what the outcome will be.
Voter Suppression Concerns
The allegations of voter suppression in Texas come amid broader concerns about the impact of election laws on Latino voters. Many voting rights advocates believe that laws requiring photo identification and other restrictions disproportionately affect minority voters.
