Sources support that Frio County officials were arrested and indicted for vote harvesting in 2025, but they show 15 people charged in total, not twelve election officials, and the group mixes officials with non-officials such as a campaign worker and a local resident.
What was said
… Or it's going to be amazing when the write-in candidate, Brendan Herrera's tiny penis, wins. That's ah, you know, it's it's actually funny you say that, because right after I lost my first election with Tony, um we had, I think it was a couple months after, Freeo County, one of our counties, I think had a shitload of election officials that was arrested right after for election fraud. Really? It's happening. It's just not advertised. I think it was, like, twelve people. It was, like, twelve elected, or, uh, election officials. There was, um, one county maybe it was the same one.

Contradicts. The sources report 15 people indicted across two waves (6 in May 2025, 9 in July 2025), not twelve election officials; the official count is not stated as twelve.[2][3][4]
Supports. Frio County officials, including a county judge, city council members, a school trustee and a former elections administrator, were indicted in May and July 2025 in a vote harvesting investigation led by AG Ken Paxton.[1][2][3]
Context. Several of those charged were not election officials, including a campaign worker, a county elections worker, a local resident and campaign-related figures, so the 'twelve election officials' framing does not match the record.[1][3]
Context. The charges are felony vote harvesting counts tied to paid collection of absentee ballots, which are allegations filed by a grand jury, not adjudicated findings of guilt.[1][2]
Context. No source addresses Brandon Herrera or his first election, so the claim's timing ('after Brandon Herrera's first election') cannot be checked against the sources.
