FORT WORTH – The Tarrant County District Attorney and the Texas Attorney General say the indictment of a Grand Prairie woman on voter fraud charges proves there are non-citizens voting in U-S elections. However, it appears the woman is a member of their own party.
The attorney for Rosa Ortega says she has legally been in the country for more than a dozen years.
Domingo Garcia says when Ortega had a child she applied for assistance under the Women Infants and Children program. That’s when Garcia says she was handed a voter registration form and told to fill it out. Garcia says Ortega was confused by it all and if she had known better, she would never have voted.
A Tarrant County Grand Jury accuses Ortega of casting ballots in the November 6, 2012 election and the May 27, 2014 primary election.

The problem is that those votes counted, and so did those of hundreds of thousands of others like her.
Voter I.D. laws, anyone?
Only problem is, most voter ID laws wouldn't have caught her.
I don't care what party she belonged to. She had to know. Somewhere on that voter registration form, it had to say "U.S. Citizen".
How many others like her went without getting caught?
