For more than a year, a coordinated group of Texas activists have mounted a statewide effort to further former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. They’ve offered no compelling evidence of mass fraud so far. With VotebeatUS:
— the Texas Election Network — knocking on doors, verifying voters’ addresses and asking them to sign affidavits.
“They did provide a packet of information, I flipped through it,” Scott told Votebeat. Although he turned the packet over to his office’s audit division, nothing came of the complaints. Scott wouldn’t say whether he shared the group’s concerns of voter fraud, only that he acknowledged they have a right to raise them and show their evidence.
Additionally, multiple voters registered at one address could mean that a family of four adults at one location are all registered to vote. Emails show Citizens for Election Integrity also contacted Tarrant County Sheriff Bill E. Waybourn. A sheriff’s office spokesperson would not say whether Waybourn met or communicated with people involved with the group, noting only that"election discussions between the Sheriff and citizens have not revealed evidence of a criminal nature to date.”
The video made its way onto sites like 4Chan and 8Chan, known for hate-filled content posted by conspiracy theorists, resulting in near constant harassment for Garcia. Tarrant County Citizens for Election Integrity shared the video repeatedly on its own channels. But Garcia worries about the safety of his family given how personal the attacks have become, he said.
The Tarrant County group’s intimidation efforts aren't stopping Garcia or other election workers from fulfilling their duties.from the March 2020 GOP primary, Garcia and his staff provided the more than 300,000 ballots and space in the county office to review them. While Garcia would have been within the law to charge the group a fee for the request, he chose not to. The tallying of the ballots by the group was completed last week, though it’s unclear what, if anything, the group found.
