The allegations listed in a recently filled lawsuit obtained by Breitbart Texas show that a group of candidates running for school board seats in the border town of La Joya bribed at least two local mailmen into turning over the lists. With the names and addresses of those voters, campaign workers and candidates went to collect the ballots to help the voters fill out the forms.
The lawsuit was filed by local attorney Javier Pena who represents Team Diamond, the name of the group of candidates that lost against the incumbent school board members in the November 4 election in the border county of Hidalgo.
