Non-Citizens Likely Voted In Bexar County
Review Of Other Counties Planned

SAN ANOTNIO -- Federal and local authorities have launched investigations after a Bexar County elections official reported dozens of non-U.S. citizens voted in recent elections.

A report by Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen included the names of 330 non-citizens on the voter rolls. Those named had received jury duty summonses but told the court they weren't eligible to serve because they were not U.S. citizens.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the Department of Homeland Security, requested Callanen's report in an administrative subpoena. And the Bexar County district attorney's office is investigating whether up to 41 of those non-citizens voted in more than a dozen local, state and federal elections since 2001.


"You bet your bottom dollar we'll prosecute ... if we find people voted illegally in violation of the state election code," Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed said.

The 330 names have since been removed from voter rolls, Callanen said.

Investigators with ICE are trying to locate and interview those named. ICE is looking into false citizenship claims, said agency spokeswoman Nina Pruneda.

Federal authorities also requested similar voter data from election officials in Harris, Tarrant and El Paso counties, Callanen said. But Pruneda, the ICE spokeswoman, declined to discuss the scope of the federal inquiry.

It wasn't immediately apparent if the questionable voting influenced the outcome of an election, Callanen said.

A bill to require voters to show photo identification or two other forms of ID before casting ballots died in the state Senate without a vote.

Democrats claimed the identification requirements would suppress poor and minority voters and vowed to filibuster the bill -- and threaten other bills -- if it ever came up.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and other Republicans argued the measure is needed to combat voter fraud. It had already passed the House.

And you can bet your bottom dollar this is happening all over the U.S. Come election time people need to steak out polling places and see whos trying to vote and put a stop to this crap.

Big surprise. You just have to know that these are the tactics of pro illegal imigrant groups! They do not care about our laws or society

I strongly suspect this happened in the mayoral election in Los Angeles. There is just no other way to explain how a low-life flunky (failed the bar exams 4 times and gave up), with two children born out of wedlock, and a history of playing around on his wife could have won the election. The man is a scumbag from the get-go.

In Maryland on Fridays, illegals are allowed to get drivers licenses and register to vote. Everyone knows that not all those who get drivers licenses are not even in Maryland but live in other states and give the address of one of the local hispanic groups headquarters. The licenses are then mail to the illegal whereever the live. After a year the illegal then goes registers where they live. How many elections were fixed due illegals voting.

In California the fastest way for a politician to launch an all out assault on himself is to mention that voters must show proof of identity when they vote. Several of the small sanctuary cities have more registered voters than population.

This is just another situation where all common sense has left the building.

We have to show ID's to board a plan, etc but of all our special rights, that is to vote, we don't need to verify we are who we say we are. Unbelievable!

It's a felony to register to vote if you're not a citizen. It doesn't matter if
you have residency. Still a crime if you're not a citizen. I'm kind of surprised
300+ registered because you do get called to jury duty if you register to
vote & a court room is the last place illegal aliens want to be. What a bunch
of idiots.

There was some kind of festival here in Raleigh & our local La Raza
office (aka El Pueblo) had a booth to sign up voters & they were
turning people away after explaining you had to be a citizen.
