Rosie Cuellar is Henry's sister. She was in the primary with Cecilia. I'm pretty sure the stuff with Cecilia and Medina has to do with the primary against Cuellar.
The stuff in Frio County was had to do with previous elections. However, I'm sure Cuellar had heard of stuff in Frio County herself because sometimes this stuff is common knowledge.
Anyway, Rosie lost the primary runoff. (Her brother was indicted shortly before the runoff)
Rosie might as well throw Cecilia under the bus along with the rest of Frio County. I read there was a text message that involved MM.
But the text message could have been about "ballot chasing", (contacting voters and asking them to vote for a specific candidate) which is very different than "ballot harvesting".

Oh and the main defendant/witness in this case died last year.
LOL I believe it is this woman
The bulk of the records focus on a woman described in the documents as someone who “has been working for candidates in Frio County for the past 25 to 30 years collecting mail ballots.” The Tribune is not naming the woman because she has not been charged with a crime.
The investigation from Paxton’s office began in 2022, when the local district attorney referred the case to the state. The inquiry was prompted by a complaint from the loser of a Democratic primary runoff for a Frio County office.
The losing candidate told a state investigator that she had been told by others that the winner had hired the woman to collect ballots. The losing candidate then got all applications for mail-in ballots through an open records request and compared the alleged harvester handwriting to other applications that were not signed, concluding that the woman had filled out several mail-in ballots without disclosing that she had assisted, according to the affidavit.
The alleged vote harvester was helped by two other women, the losing candidate told the investigator. The main suspect charged candidates between $1,500 to $2,500 to collect the applications, mail ballots and sometimes drive voters to vote, the losing judge told the investigator, according to the affidavit. She received payments through her daughter’s Cash App, the losing candidate said. The affidavits do not indicate that the losing candidate provided any proof of the schemes.
