Judge issues $11,111 bond for Grand Prairie mom who got 8 years in voter fraud case

FORT WORTH -- State District Judge Robb Catalano set an appeal bond at $11,111 Wednesday for Rosa Maria Ortega, the Grand Prairie woman who was sentenced last month to eight years in prison on two felony counts of illegal voting.

The bond is the first step in what is likely a low-percentage play to get the mother of four released from custody until an appeals court rules on whether she should be granted a new trial or serve the sentence delivered by the Tarrant County jury.

Ortega’s attorney, Clark Birdsall, and Sheila Finney, court coordinator for Tarrant County Criminal District Court No. 3, confirmed the bond amount.

Ortega’s fiance, Oscar Sherman, said he plans to post the bond.

“If we can get around this immigration thing, yeah, this is a positive first step,” Sherman said.

3. Everyone assumes that all illegal voters cast their ballot(s) for Democrats ...

Newspaper accounts assume it too.

More likely that the few illegal votes are split down the middle between Democrat and Republican, thereby cancelling each other out.

And are they really voting FRAUDULENTLY if there is no fraudulent intent? There is evidence that much "illegal" voting is due to misunderstanding.
