Newly released body camera footage from January 2020 allegedly reveals a massive voter fraud conspiracy with the current Democrat nominee for Tarrant County Judge, Deborah Peoples, at the center.
According to reports, the story actually begins in 2016 when two Fort Worth police officers encountered a homeless man named Charles Jackson, who had roughly $1,000 in cash on him. When the officers inquired how Jackson amassed this kind of money, he indicated it was related to work around the voting process.
Two years later, Jackson was indicted along with five other people for various voter fraud charges. Jackson was accused of, and would later plead guilty to, forging a signature on an application for an early voting ballot in January 2016.
He was sentenced to 10 days in prison as part of his plea deal.
One of the two officers who encountered Jackson that night in 2016 ran into him again years later, stopping Jackson for riding his bike in an unsafe manner on what appeared to be a busy street in January 2020.
The two eventually struck up a conversation about his past involvement with voter fraud, including his indictment and guilty plea, which was captured on the officer’s body camera.
The conversation largely focused on Jackson’s alleged involvement in a paid ballot-harvesting voter fraud scheme allegedly run by Deborah Peoples and her former campaign manager Stuart Clegg.
“Each time I get someone to sign, they gave me $200,” Jackson claimed. “But that wasn’t easy, though; those people were 65 and older, you know.”
The officer asked how many people Jackson was able to get signatures from, and he responded, “One day, I got like $1,200 in like four hours.”
“So, you voted everyone for them?” the officer inquired. He replied, “Yeah, yeah, pretty much. You know, once you vote one, just vote all Democrat … and they weren’t intending to do that.”
Jackson then explained in detail how he apparently duped the senior citizens he targeted.
He would claim he was there to verify their information on file, such as their name, address, and birthday, and if everything was “correct,” have them sign the ballot. All of this information was easy to obtain and publicly available.
When the officer asked who Jackson would take these signed ballots back to, he responded, “Stuart and Deborah.”
“Stuart Clegg?” the officer asked for clarification. Jackson responded yes. “And who else?” the officer asked. “Deborah Peoples,” Jackson replied.
Jackson claimed he participated in this election fraud scheme for six months and made “an average of $900…$1,200 per week,” which was paid in cash and allegedly given to him directly by Stuart Clegg and Deborah Peoples.
He also claimed that he was given a moped to get around the city easier.
When asked how he got involved in this operation, Jackson claimed he went looking for work one day and met Deborah Peoples. At first, Clegg had Jackson put out campaign signs and work polling locations before he went deeper into their supposed political operation.
“You know in that office, they haven’t lost a vote in 11 years,” claimed Jackson.
“Whose office?” the officer asked.
“Deborah Peoples’ office … every time that somebody campaign they win. 11 years. 11 years. It turned out they been stealing ballots,” concluded Jackson.
The Dallas Express reached out to Deborah Peoples for comment, but as of the writing of this article, she has not responded nor put out any public statement acknowledging the video or its allegations.
Tim O’Hare, the Republican nominee for Tarrant County Judge who is facing Peoples in the upcoming November election, provided The Dallas Express with the following statement:
“If Deborah Peoples participated in an illegal voting operation, she is unfit to hold any public office and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. […] If an investigation into the allegations referenced in the video has not already commenced, one should begin immediately.”
