    Texas Democratic Party Leader Funded 'Voter Fraud Ring,' Says Government

    Texas law enforcement officials have arrested four women for allegedly targeting elderly voters in the 2016 elections in a "voter fraud ring" that was funded by a Democratic Party leader, according to court documents filed this week by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

    "The defendants were members of an organized voter fraud ring and were paid to target elderly voters in certain northern Fort Worth precincts in a scheme to generate large numbers of mail ballots, then harvest those ballots for specific candidates," NBC DFW reported.

    Colorado voter fraud revealed: Slew of ballots cast by the dead spark investigation

    A CBS affiliate’s evidence of voter fraud in Colorado has sparked an immediate investigation by Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

    Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting. A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Mrs. Sosa’s husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later.

    “This is the kind of thing you hear rumored, joked about in Chicago, that kind of thing,” Mr. Maasssaid during a Thursday evening broadcast. “Tonight, that changes. We did find voter fraud in Colorado that essentially waters down your vote.”

    At one point Mr. Maass‘ investigation led him to the Colorado Springs home of Sarilu Sosa-Sanchez, the daughter of Mrs. Sosa. The reporter received the cold shoulder when he asked the homeowner about her mother’s “voting” record.

    “Go talk to someone else,” the woman said. “I don’t have to clear anything up. I don’t know what that has to do with me.”

    Investigation launched after dead people are registered to vote in Harrisonburg

    Harrisonburg officials and the FBI are investigating allegations of voter registration fraud after officials say almost 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.

    Harrisonburg Registrar Debbie Logan said Thursday that investigators have found from 18 to 20 potentially fraudulent registrations. The Rockingham County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office confirmed Thursday that an investigation is underway, but offered no additional details on the case.

    The applications were turned in by a voter registration group called HarrisonburgVOTES, officials said. The group’s representatives could not be reached for comment Thursday. No charges have been filed.

    Mexican woman charged with voter fraud, accused of illegally voting in 2016 election


    A Mexican woman has been charged in Texas with voter fraud after prosecutors said she illegally voted in the 2016 presidential election.

    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office will prosecute Laura Janeth Garza, a 37-year-old Mexican national who lives in Houston, after a grand jury indicted her May 10 on charges of voter impersonation and ineligible voting.

    Both charges are second-degree felonies. If convicted, Garza faces two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, according to Fox 4 News in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

    “This case demonstrates my office’s commitment to protecting the integrity of elections,” Paxton said in a statement. “We will continue to do everything in our power to safeguard the electoral process in Texas.”

    Minister upset as he faces deportation after voting as a non-citizen:

    ‘It is going to wreck my life’: Immigration judge may deport retired Alton priest

    "Boase grew up in the Lake District of northwest England, but lived in York in the northeast part of the country....In 2004, he received his calling to the Episcopal Parish of Alton, to minister at St. Paul, his first and only assignment in the United States."

    "The fateful turn of events happened shortly after his arrival, when he went to an Illinois Secretary of State office to obtain a drivers license. Boase said a supervisor asked him if he wanted to register to vote, so he signed the card, not knowing he was ineligible. He later received a notice informing him of his polling place. “I trusted the supervisor at the...(Secretary of State) office, he misled me,” Boase said. “He did not ask if I was an American citizen and he should have.” Two years later, Boase voted in the Nov. 7, 2006 mid-election....When he later mentioned voting, a parishioner told him he should not have done so and Boase said he never voted again."

    "Boase...[later went to] apply for U.S. citizenship....[an] agent then began investigating Boase and discovered he improperly had voted years ago, and reported the priest.

    "Boase said he will have to sell his house in Godfrey and all of its contents. He has been living on a modest pension and Social Security, the latter which will cease when he returns to England."

    Yes, the Secretary of State of Illinois then and now is a Democrat. He's been in office since 1999!

    Two women busted for election fraud in Miami-Dade


    A 74-year-old woman tasked with opening envelopes sent by Miami-Dade County voters with their completed mail ballots was arrested Friday after co-workers caught her illegally marking ballots, resulting in an unknown — but small — number of fraudulent votes being cast for mayoral candidate Raquel Regalado.

    Investigators linked Gladys Coego, a temporary worker for the county elections department, to two fraudulent votes, but they suspect from witness testimony that she submitted several more.

    Coego, of Westchester, turned herself in to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Friday morning. She was charged with two felony counts of marking another person’s ballot. Coego was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

    WATCH: Texas Poll Worker Tells Undercover Reporter They've Allowed 'Tons' Of DACA Recipients To Vote

    James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released an undercover sting video on Tuesday from a polling station in Texas that appears to show an election official saying that they've had 'tons' of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients voting in the election.

    Project Veritas' undercover journalist, posing as the girlfriend of a potential DACA voter, visited a polling station in Travis County, Texas to ask election officials if he could vote.

    "If he has his ID that’s all he needs. If he’s registered," an election worker told the undercover journalist.

    Is there any reason to believe this has to be limited to DACA recipients? Legal immigrants could vote without citizenship. Even illegals. As long as they register with their driver license. All they are checking is ID against a list. When would it ever show up as fraud? What a tangled web.:rolleyes:

    figures somebody would bring up that crook in Bladen County - don't trust the guy at all and all he did at the worst was ballot harvesting (illegal there, legal in Kalifornia now).

    This is just whataboutism but it's good to see the left acknowledge there's a possibility of election fraud. About this hack, he's faaaaaaaaaar more than a "GOP operative":

    that Red Dome group ought to be more careful about who they hire.

    Canton alderwoman, a former police chief, others charged with voter fraud


    Canton Alderwoman and former Police Chief Vickie McNeil and five others were indicted Thursday on charges of voter fraud in Madison County involving the 2017 Canton municipal election.

    McNeil, 68, is charged with four counts of voter fraud, said Maj. Chuck McNeal of the Madison County Sheriff's Department.


    Buckley said more indictments could be coming.

    “We anticipate another round of voter fraud cases being presented to the grand jury in the near future,” Buckley said in an email to the Clarion Ledger.

    Congress sworn in without North Carolina Republican Mark Harris

    "When Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) swore in 424 members of the 116th Congress on Thursday, a representative from North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District was not part of the crowd. Republican Mark Harris met instead with staff from the State Board of Elections to assist with their investigation into possible voter fraud."

    "Two months after unofficial election results showing the former Southern Baptist pastor and past president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina winner of the Nov. 6 election by 905 votes, officials have not certified the vote. The probe looks into questionable activity involving absentee ballots and a political operative hired by Harris to help get out the vote in his race with Democrat Dan McCready."

    "Slew of ballots" = five ballots cast by two people. One dead person had one ballot cast; the other dead person had four ballots cast in four elections over four years.

    Supporters chuckle at GOP official's campaign event as he details method of vote-by-mail fraud used by ladies in his church:

    Concerned Church Ladies' Forged Ballots Described

    "Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox recently reassured a man who asked him about the integrity of the state’s elections....'Latter-day Saint mothers whose kids are away on religious missions—They think, "Oh, I’ll just fill it out for him, and I’ll sign it and send it back in," Cox explained last week during a gubernatorial campaign visit to the small Box Elder County town of Fielding."

    "'They could go to jail for that,' he continued, drawing chuckles from the gathered group."

    KUTV • Voting by mail has made it easier

    "Completing another person's voting form is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The state's embrace of voting by mail has increased the ease with which parents can obtain and fill out a child's ballot, officials said....'[We] run across situations of parents filling in ballots on a "fairly frequent basis,' said Rozan Mitchell, Utah County's elections director."
