Were voters intimidated or just needing assistance in La Joya election?

I wouldn't want my boss in the election booth with me, but if I needed help voting, I would like to have it
.More than 1,000 votes were cast illegally in this month’s La Joya school board race, the losing slate of candidates claimed in an election challenge they filed Monday.

The winners categorically denied allegations that they participated in fraudulent voter assistance or intimidation and plan to file an appeal following the Thanksgiving weekend.

According to the losing candidates, volunteers compiled an extensive list of names, addresses and birth dates of each assisted voter along with the assistants’ often illegible signatures and addresses. The challengers claim that list connects many literate and able-bodied western Hidalgo County voters to assistants who were their immediate supervisors or employer representatives.
