"The indictment alleges Flores escorted voters into polling sites and illegally marked ballots without their consent in this year's Democratic primary election."

Duval county's 55 percent voter turnout was also in the Democrat primary election.

I think I might be starting to see a pattern of corruption here? /sarc

Well, I wonder how far this is going to go, and how serious this is in Corpus Christi. Anybody know?

In a sane country voter fraud would bring significant hard prison time.

Flores remained in the Nueces County Jail on a bond of $3,500 late Thursday.

It would cost her family typically $350 to bail her out.

This is not a popular woman.

[Paleo Conservative]

If they jailed everyone who committed voting fraud in Robstown, there'd hardly be anyone not in jail. I don't understand how such a small town has so much influence in Nueces County?

Politiqueras Ping!

DU Activist Corps, Activate!!! Oh wait, it's Democrats doing it, never mind...move along, nothing to see here.

Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz (D) was born in Robstown.

There is mega-voter fraud going on in many places, some quite openly. Friends reported that in San Miguel de Allende, Mex., ex-pat libs were bragging about voting absentee twice and laughing.

What did she do wrong? This is a common occurence in Washington State and nobody gets in trouble here. I guess we must have different types of judges who see this differently.

[The South Texan]

Robstown is responsible for most of our corrupt politicians in this county. They usually provide the difference in most countywide elections.

350 bucks versus a possible 10 year stretch??

Color this chick long gone, Dog Gone : )

And like I said, it happens in King County in Washington State all the time and nobody gets in trouble. In fact I'll bet the demorat party sends out thank you letters.

But they have good bar-b-que at Joe Cottons.

She may would skip but my guess is that if'n they conduct the trial in county she'll never be convicted. A change of venue may result in a conviction.

[SwinneySwitch]

Apparently the voters didn't like the democrats she voted for and complained about it to the state officials.

[MizSterious]

I'd write Robstown off as a total loss, if not for Cotton's. ;)
