A Mexican citizen living in Texas was sentenced this week to eight years in prison for voting illegally in elections in 2012 and 2014. A jury sentenced her Thursday to eight years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton – for whom Ortega voted in 2014 – assisted in the prosecution. In addition to the long prison sentence, Ortega is likely to be deported, her lawyer Clark Birdsall said. "She'll do eight years in a Texas prison," he told the Times.
