Now, 5 people, all with *ties* to Democratic candidates, are accused of illegal *vote harvesting*, which usually involves knocking on doors & asking if volunteers can deliver completed absentee or mail-in ballots to voting centers or ballot drop boxes.
In 2021, Gov #GregAbbott signed an overhaul of #Texas #election laws which included new restrictions on vote harvesting, making it illegal to deliver a ballot for a 3rd party.
