The leader of a recently indicted "Voter fraud ring" has confessed to investigators that the operation was funded by a Texas Democratic leader, according to court documents filed by the Office of Attorney General Ken Paxton this week.
The North Texas woman believed to be the head of the all-female, four-member election-rigging gang, Leticia Sanchez, has now been charged with 17 felony counts of voter fraud, that targetted the 2016 primaries, following an investigation by Paxton's office.
According to the state's newly filed notice of intent to introduce evidence in the Sanchez criminal case, documents allege that Stuart Clegg, then-Tarrant County Democratic Party executive director, paid for the alleged voter fraud ring's criminal activities.
Paxton's office said the voter fraud charges involve mail-in ballots sent in ahead of the 2016 primary election in Texas, with elderly voters on the north side of Fort Worth being the prime target of the ring.
Four people have been indicted in the case for far - Leticia Sanchez, Leticia Sanchez Tepichin, Maria Solis and Laura Parra - after being charged with 30 felony counts of voter fraud, according to a statement from the Texas Attorney General's Office.
Despite these serious voter fraud charges, Greg Westfall, one of two attorneys for Tepichin, insisted the state's case was politically motivated and sought to suppress minority voting, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"While purporting to 'assist' the voter in filling out her ballot, Sanchez distracted the voter by talking only about the presidential race, while marking votes for the down-ballot candidates Sanchez was paid to support, without the voter's knowledge or consent," stated the court documents which included Barela's testimony among many other elderly individuals impacted by the mail-in ballot voter fraud.
