Mexican Citizen Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison For Voter Fraud In TX

The family of a woman convicted of voter fraud is speaking out after a Tarrant County jury sentenced her to eight years in prison.
Prosecutors say the reason officials at the elections department in Dallas didn’t stop the voter fraud from happening is because Rosa Ortega claimed she was a citizen on her application.
Now the Tarrant County D.A.’s office is calling for those claims to be verified before handing out registration cards.
Ortega’s attorney said the mother of four will undoubtedly be deported.
“What’s going to happen to the kids? So it’s not fair,” Rosa’s uncle, Felipe Ortega said.
He points out his niece has spent almost her entire life in the U.S. Her attorney said she has a learning disability and was confused about the difference between being a citizen and a legal resident, so she thought she was allowed to vote.
“The jury didn’t believe that story. They believed that the defendant knew exactly what she was doing, and they responded accordingly,” Prosecutor Jonathan White said.

8 years of taxpayers paying for a Mexican citizen to be incarcerated is a bit harsh, to her and the American people. Over voting?

Abide by the law
It keeps you out of court rooms. Not a citizen and a criminal? Well, bye...

This must be fake news because the Left has been telling us that voter fraud doesn't exist and that illegals can't vote.

Is the the person who voted in the GOP primary?

I hope she serves every year

Political prisoner. Were she involved in a scheme to enable massive voter fraud, I could agree with the sentence, but it appears that the jury (which is normally madeup of people who aren't smart enough to get off) sees this as justice.
