   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.
