A South Texas woman was arrested by the Texas Attorney General’s Office Wednesday on 26 counts of violating state election laws.

Monica Rene Mendez, 36, of Port Lavaca, was charged with three counts of illegal voting, seven counts of unlawful voter assistance, eight counts of returning marked ballots without consent and eight counts of election fraud, according to jail records.

Since 2005, the Texas Attorney General’s Office has successfully prosecuted 534 election fraud offenses against 155 people, according to its website. There are 510 pending offenses statewide against 43 people, along with 386 active election fraud investigations.

Great job by the Texas AG. It may not prove “widespread election fraud”, but the citizenry MUST be aware that there are potential significant consequences to breaking election laws.

This news needs to be broadcast widely and loudly, but I fear that news agencies will somehow view this as partisan news, and limit the reporting of it for fear of giving support to claims of an invalid 2020 election.

It may not prove “widespread election fraud”,


(The Center Square) – Ahead of special legislative session set to start July 8, during which Gov. Greg Abbott has made election reform a legislative priority, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced there are more than 500 election fraud cases pending in Texas courts.

“We will prosecute voter fraud every time we find it,” Paxton said over the weekend. “Currently, our office has over 500 cases waiting to be heard in court.”

“Voter fraud is real,” he said, and “Texans deserve to know their vote is legally and securely counted.”

150 people strategically placed in the right districts can swing a national election. That's a fact people don't seem to comprehend.

Agreed, ma'am.

However, deportation would be redundant since she would literally just walk, unabated, back into the US and resume her DNC funded fraud scheme.

This is a case study of (if she's illegal) when an illegal immigrant should do a mountain of hard time for crimes against a foreign country. If it was some white hillbilly from West Virginia caught cheating for Republicans, they'd have already given him the chair.

This reads like a Ken Paxton (Texas AG) press release and appears to have as an additional objective to mislead uninitiated members of the public into assuming that this had something to do with the 2020 national election.

This matter involved a May 2018 water district board election in Bloomington, a town of around 2,000 residents near Victoria, Texas.

Authorities haven’t said which candidate or candidates may have benefitted from Mendez’ alleged ballot harvesting.
A total of 563 ballots were cast in Bloomington’s 2018 water district election.

Please feel free to use this in your next screed about widespread, consequential voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Like this?

These are just the ones that have made it to court, so far. I'd say by 2022-2023 you will see many more convictions resulting from the 2020 elections.
