Woman charged with voting illegally

DALLAS — A Mexican citizen living in Houston stole another woman’s identity to vote illegally, the Texas attorney general’s office says.

Laura Janeth Garza, 38, was indicted last week on two counts of illegal voting. Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday that his office planned to prosecute the case.

Paxton’s office says Garza, who used the alias Angie Yadira Zamora, illegally registered to vote in Harris County after stealing a U.S. citizen’s identity.

Garza voted in 2004, 2012 and 2016, according to the attorney general’s office. She is charged with ineligible voting and voter impersonation in the November 2016 election.
