Four Women who are Accused of Targeting Elderly Voters in 2016 were Indicted on 30 Felony Counts of Voter Fraud and Arrested following an Investigation by the Office of the 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 Number of Mail Ballots, then Harvest those Ballots for Specific Candidates in 2016.
The Scheme was conducted when Applications for Mail Ballot were Proliferated in Targeted Precincts. When Ballots were Mailed by Election Offices, the Fraudsters attempted either to Intercept the Ballots or to “Assist” Elderly Voters in Voting their Ballots to ensure Votes were Cast for the Fraudsters’ Choice. In most cases, the Voters do not even know their Votes have been Stolen.
The Fraudulent Applications were generated through Forged Signatures, some of which were obtained through Deception, and by Altering Applications and Resubmitting them without the Knowledge of the Voters.
Many of the Voters were Forced to Cancel their Mail Ballots so they could Vote-in-Person and some were Forced to Receive Primary Ballots for the Political Party supported by the Harvesters, though it was not the Party the Voters Supported.
The Attorney General's Office did not reveal what Candidates paid for the effort. The Indictments list 26 North Fort Worth Residents as Victims.
All Defendants in the Case face State Felony Charges of providing False Information on an Application for a Mail Ballot.
Leticia Sanchez was Indicted on One Count of Illegal Voting, a Second-Degree Felony punishable by a Prison Term of Two to 20 years, and a Total of 16 Counts. If Convicted. She remained in Jail as of Friday afternoon.
Leticia Sanchez Tepichin (10 counts), Maria Solis (two counts), and Laura Parra (one count). They were released on Bond.
