Lawyer: Pro-Trump Mindset Behind 8-Year Voter Fraud Sentence
Law Newz ^ | 2/11/17

Posted on 02/11/2017 6:58:44 AM PST by markomalley

A lawyer for a Mexican national sentenced to eight years in prison for voter fraud in Texas said that President Donald Trump’s widely debunked claims of election rigging was “the 800-pound gorilla” in the jury box.

Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, was convicted in Fort Worth this week on two felony counts of illegal voting over allegations that she improperly cast a ballot five times between 2005 and 2014.

Her attorney, Clark Birdsall, said Friday that Ortega was a permanent resident who was brought to the U.S. as a baby and mistakenly thought she was eligible to vote. He said she voted Republican, including for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose office helped prosecute her.

The sentence was stark — voter fraud convictions, which are rare, many times result in probation. And as a convicted felon, Ortega will very likely be deported after serving her sentence.

So Trump forced her to vote.

The sorriest part of this is that libtard sheeple will buy into this hook, line and sinker.

Well we saw what happened when lawlessness prevailed and we saw where it got us. I predict less border jumping, less illegal immigrants, and less terrorists. I’m sure the terrorists and their supporters don’t like that.

“permanent resident who was brought to the U.S. as a baby and mistakenly thought she was eligible to vote”

Hmm...

Wouldn’t she learn about voting in HISTORY CLASS? I wonder how many aliases she has on voter rolls?

A guy was convicted here in NC recently for voting more than once. He voted for the Republican governor and President Trump.

She’s a probably a small fish,too.
On a scale of 1-10...1 being a minnow and 10 being a Whale.
She is a somewhere between a minnow and a small trout.

Probably the ACLU will voluntarily take up her case and appeal this decision. So our courts get filled with all kinds of lawsuits. This might be sending a message to others. Wise people need to take note.

She claims she voted Republican? Maybe they should add another 5 years for perjury.

If there is a sentencing guidline that fits the number of voting fraud occurrences, then the ‘lawyer’ can go piss up a rope. He has no standing.

“...Ortega was a permanent resident who was brought to the U.S. as a baby and mistakenly thought she was eligible to vote.”

Assuming she’s telling the truth, I wonder how she got that idea? Maybe they should make a point to tell Green Card holders that they’re not allowed to vote.

Stay tuned folks......you all are in for the biggest political shock of your lives...down the road a piece. The Democrat Party, for many, many, years, has illegal voting going on non-stop in all fifty states. They,(Democrats) cannot win any election without massive illegal voting of all sorts. By the end of this year, you will see the horror of their illegal supported voting. The demographics of voting in California, New York, etc., will astonish & stun the entire American voting public.

All fifty states must demand positive photo ID and proof of USA birth or naturalization documents, also!!! RNC...get on it!!! We can destroy the entire Democrat Party in the mid-term elections of 2018!!!

And here I thought it was all about illegal voting by a non-citizen. Imagine that.
