Tarrant County group claims seniors are being intimidated into not voting
Source: Dallas Morning News
Hispanic leaders in Tarrant County have filed a complaint with the U.S. Justice Department, alleging that senior citizens are being intimidated into not voting.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the complaint from the United Hispanic Council of Tarrant County says a voter-fraud investigation has "left a trail of confused and upset seniors who are now afraid of voting," either in person or by absentee ballot.
Concerns have arisen over mail-in ballots, which some people think can lead to "vote harvesting" the illegal process of filling out and returning the ballots of valid voters without their consent.
The complaint alleges that political activists are making "vigilante-style" door-to-door visits, claiming to be investigating voter fraud.
