BUSTED : Non-Citizen is SEVERELY Punished for Illegally Voting in the 2016 Election

In Grand Prairie, Texas, a woman was found guilty on two counts of illegal voting and has been sentenced to eight years in prison along with a $5,000 fine.

From NBC News

Rosa Maria Ortega was arrested in 2015. She is a legal U.S. resident, but is not a citizen and therefore, not qualified to vote.

“This case shows how serious Texas is about keeping its elections secure, and the outcome sends a message that violators of the state’s election law will be prosecuted to the fullest,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “Safeguarding the integrity of our elections is essential to preserving our democracy.”

A Tarrant County jury deliberated for about two hours before returning the guilty verdict Wednesday. Ortega was sentenced on Thursday.
