Video: ‘Ballot chaser’ caught bribing and changing votes
Raquel Rodriguez examines an elderly woman’s ballot and convinces her to change her vote from Republican Sen. John Cornyn to Democratic challenger MJ Hegar.
A political consultant in San Antonio, Texas, was caught on a hidden camera in a Project Veritas undercover investigation coercing and bribing voters to vote Democrat, violating Texas and federal law.
In an exchange in a video published Tuesday, Raquel Rodriguez examines an elderly woman’s ballot and convinces her to change her vote from Republican Sen. John Cornyn to Democratic challenger MJ Hegar.
“You can do, you can vote for whoever you want, but our conversation that we had, you said you were voting for Hegar, ’cause you were going straight Democrat,” Rodriguez says. “You said you’re voting straight Democrat per our conversation, so that when you’re voting for the straight Dem – ‘cause that’s what you want to do, correct?”
