Prison-bound? Grand Prairie mom sentenced to 8 years for illegal voting loses appeal
|
[Star-Telegram] A Grand Prairie mother of four who drew national attention after a Tarrant County jury sentenced her to eight years in prison for illegal voting has lost her appeal.
The 2nd Court of Appeals this month upheld the original conviction and sentence of Rosa Maria Ortega.
"This case underscores the importance that Texans place on the institution of voting, and the hallowed principle that every citizen’s vote must count," Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a written statement. "We will hold those accountable who falsely claim eligibility and purposely subvert the election process in Texas."
Ortega, who was released from jail on an appeal bond a month after her 2017 conviction, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
