Bodycam Footage Shows Texas Man Admitting to Brazen Cash-for-Ballots Scheme

The race for county judge in the second biggest county in Texas was rocked last month when allegations of past fraudulent ballot harvesting surfaced against Democrat nominee Deborah Peoples.

Footage from a bodycam worn by a Fort Worth police officer shows a man telling a policeman that Peoples allegedly paid him $200 cash for every fraudulently cast absentee ballot he could deliver in the months before the 2016 presidential election.

During the first encounter, the homeless Jackson had difficulty explaining why he had $1,000 in cash on his person.

Jackson said it had something to do with the election.

At the time, the officer warned him that tampering with elections could have severe consequences and let him go.

Jackson did not heed the policeman’s advice, and sometime after his 2016 brush with law enforcement, he was arrested and charged with providing false information on a voting application.

In the 2020 body cam video, Jackson said that after his arrest, he was quickly bailed out of jail by a person he knew to be closely affiliated with Peoples.

He also said the judge imposed a gag order on all parties to the case.

Jackson pleaded guilty in April 2019 in exchange for a lesser sentence.
