A Mexican woman has been charged in Texas with voter fraud after 
prosecutors said she illegally voted in the 2016 presidential 
election.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office will prosecute 
Laura Janeth Garza, a 37-year-old Mexican national who lives in 
Houston, after a grand jury indicted her May 10 on charges of 
voter impersonation and ineligible voting.

Both charges are second-degree felonies. If convicted, Garza 
faces two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, according to 
Fox 4 News in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

“This case demonstrates my office’s commitment to protecting the 
integrity of elections,” Paxton said in a statement. “We will 
continue to do everything in our power to safeguard the 
electoral process in Texas.”

According to the attorney general’s office, Garza is accused of 
voting illegally in Harris County in November 2016, as well as 
in elections in 2004 and 2012.

Paxton said a joint investigation with the Texas Department of 
Public Safety determined that Garza obtained documents to steal 
the identity of a U.S. citizen and illegally register to vote.

Law enforcement became aware of Garza after a U.S. citizen 
attempted to obtain a passport, but discovered Garza had already 
done so using her identity, Paxton said. The State Department 
referred Garza’s case to Texas Department of Public Safety, 
which then handed it over to Paxton’s office for prosecution.

President Trump has long claimed widespread voting fraud took 
place in the 2016 election, an assertion that has not been 
substantiated.

"It's not a conspiracy theory, folks," Trump said at an event in 
West Virginia last month, claiming millions voted illegally in 
2016.
