About that voter fraud that doesn't exist...

Star-TelegramA Fort Worth woman recently indicted on voter fraud charges paid others involved in the scheme with funds provided by a former Tarrant County Democratic Party leader, court documents filed this week say.

After learning about a state investigation, Leticia Sanchez — one of four women arrested and indicted on voter fraud charges — allegedly directed her daughter to send a text message to others in the scheme, urging them not to cooperate with investigators, state officials say.

The allegations are made in the state’s notice of intent to introduce evidence in Sanchez’s criminal case, where state officials say she was among those who collaborated to vote for certain down-ballot candidates with a number of north side residents’ mail-in ballots.

The notice, filed Tuesday, states that Sanchez engaged in organized criminal activity in collaboration with her three co-defendants; Stuart Clegg, a former executive director for the Tarrant County Democratic Party; and others.

It also includes allegations that Sanchez faxed applications for mail-in ballots — many obtained fraudulently — using a fax machine belonging to former Fort Worth councilman Sal Espino. The notice does not implicate Espino as being part of the scheme.

The quote is big because it's ALL important. Note the key points:

An organized scheme with multiple people involved

Mail-in ballots to evade voter ID requirements (Texas)

People were paid to participate...

... with Democrat Party funds

Involvement of at least one high level Democrat Party official

Potential involvement of an elected official (mentioned, not indicted)

two dozen felony counts of voter fraud

Abuse of elderly and/or incapacitated voters by lying or intimidation
