💨 Abstract

Nine individuals, including a former mayor and a chief of staff, pleaded not guilty to felony vote harvesting charges in Texas. The indictments, part of an elections investigation led by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, face criticism as politically motivated. Lawyer Gerry Goldstein filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the vote-harvesting statute is overly broad and infringes on constitutional rights. The charges carry up to 10 years in prison.
