Noncitizens likely voted in Bexar County
DA investigating as many as 330 people in election fraud case

Dozens of non-U.S. citizens may have voted in Bexar County elections, a county elections official reported, prompting an investigation by federal and local authorities.

The names of 330 noncitizens on the voter rolls were reported by Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen.

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 Mr. Callanen’s report in an administrative subpoena. And the Bexar County district attorney’s office is investigating whether as many as 41 of those noncitizens 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, Mr. Callanen said.

Investigators with customs enforcement are trying to locate and interview those named.

The agency also is looking into false citizenship claims, said spokeswoman Nina Pruneda.

Federal authorities also requested similar voter data from election officials in Harris, Tarrant and El Paso counties, Mr. Callanen said.

But Ms. Pruneda declined to discuss the scope of the federal inquiry.

Imagine how many more will cast ballots if the Bush-Kennedy shamnesty gets through. But hey, what’s the problem? One man’s “non-U.S. citizens” with fraudulent voting records and false citizenship claims are another man’s “undocumented Americans,” after all. Right, Sen. Reid?
