Judge halts search of digital devices in Texas vote harvesting investigation (One subject of Paxton's raids)

Manuel Medina, former Bexar Co. Democratic Party chair, had home searched as part of Texas Attorney General’s investigation


SAN ANTONIO – A judge ordered a temporary halt to the search of digital devices confiscated from Manuel Medina, the former chair of the Bexar County Democratic Party, in an investigation led by the Texas Attorney General’s Office into alleged illegal vote harvesting.

The devices, which include more than 60 cellphones and over 40 computers, were seized more than two weeks ago after investigators searched Medina’s home.

Medina appeared in district court Wednesday, arguing that authorities lacked a warrant to search the contents of the devices.

The investigation centers on allegations that Medina was recorded discussing a scheme to collect votes for Texas House candidate Cecilia Castellano, a Democrat whom Medina previously served as an aide.
