Impersonation Fraud at the Polls
Belinda Solis and Veronica Saldivar
CONVICTED: 2014
Buying Votes
Hazel Woodard, a Democratic Precinct Chairwoman candidate in Fort
Worth, Texas, was concerned that her husband would not make it to
the polls to vote - so she had her teenage son vote for him, instead. The
impersonation went undetected until the husband went to the polls
later that day and tried to cast a second ballot in his name. Hazel was
indicted for impersonation fraud at the polls, pleaded guilty, and was
sentenced to two years of deferred adjudication probation.
Two campaign workers pleaded guilty in the Southern District of Texas
for paying voters to vote in two 2012 elections in Hidalgo County,
Texas. In an elaborate vote-buying scheme, Belina Solis and Veronica
Saldivar offered “baggies” of cocaine and money in exchange for votes
for local and county candidates. After an extensive FBI investigation,
they both pleaded guilty to one count of vote-buying.
