A Texas woman pleaded guilty June 8 to 26 counts of voter fraud in a deal that kept her out of prison.
District Judge Eli Garza sentenced Monica Renee Mendez, 37, to five years probation and 80 hours of community service. Mendez will also have to pay court costs and fines totaling $1,415, according to the report in the Victoria Advocate.
Victoria County Elections Administrator Margetta Hill said last year that Mendez worked as a volunteer deputy registrar during the 2018 Bloomington, Texas, water board election. The role Mendez held involves helping residents register to vote. The elections administrator added her registrar certification was not renewed after the state attorney general’s office notified local officials they were investigating Mendez for her conduct during the water board election.
“Once we get wind of something that’s not right, we have the right to revoke her certificate,” Hill said in 2021. “We didn’t renew it.
Suspicions were raised about the water board election when more than 10 percent of the town’s 2,500 voters registered using the same mailing address. Investigators determined the address was a post office box rented by ALMS, a local housing nonprofit accused of unfairly trying to win votes during that election.
