| Prison-bound? Grand Prairie mom sentenced to 8 years for illegal voting loses appeal |
| 2019-01-29 |
| [Star-Telegram] A Grand Prairie mother of four who drew national attention after a Tarrant County jury sentenced her to eight years in prison for illegal voting has lost her appeal. The 2nd Court of Appeals this month upheld the original conviction and sentence of Rosa Maria Ortega. "This case underscores the importance that Texans place on the institution of voting, and the hallowed principle that every citizen’s vote must count," Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a written statement. "We will hold those accountable who falsely claim eligibility and purposely subvert the election process in Texas." Ortega, who was released from jail on an appeal bond a month after her 2017 conviction, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. |

| #4 There have been several cases of voter fraud recently filed by the attorney general’s office in Tarrant County. Among them, an alleged “voter fraud ring” in Fort Worth that led to the indictment of four women: Leticia Sanchez, Leticia Sanchez Tepichin, Maria Solis and Laura Parra. I wonder who funds such operations? Well, maybe not. What was Rosa Maria Ortega's motivation for putting herself in the hoosegow? Every time an illegal votes, it has the potential of negating honest votes and nullifying an election. |
