Shocking Voter Fraud Unearthed
Discover the stunning revelation of fraud in Maverick County’s $7.2 million certificates of obligation petition. Fraudulent votes, a deceased person’s vote, and the impact on the perception of the Maverick County constituents.
During the October 30th Maverick County Commissioners Court session, the court revealed a shocking case of fraud embedded in the $7.2 million certificates of obligation petition. The citizens’ initiative, led by Miss Enriqueta Diaz and Mr. Mayito Obregon, seeking an election on the proposed financial obligation, took an unexpected and scandalous turn according to the video of the meeting the Eagle Pass Texas News has obtained.
Rigorous Verification Unveils Fraud
Miss Villarreal, the Elections Administrator, presented the findings during the court session. Out of the 2,333 signatures submitted, 668 were invalidated due to various reasons, including duplicates, incomplete information, and an alarming discovery—one signature traced back to a deceased person. The petition required 1,552 valid signatures, but only 1,665 stood authentic after the rigorous verification process.
Judge and Commissioners Express Shock
Judge Ramsey English-Cantú, visibly taken aback, expressed his shock and disappointment at the revelation. He underscored the seriousness of the situation, stating, “This is flat out wrong, and it is unfortunate.” Commissioners joined in expressing their concerns, realizing the potential impact of fraudulent votes on the democratic process.
Citizens’ Intent and Court’s Scrutiny
The court delved into the nature of the petition, highlighting that citizens who signed it were explicitly protesting the issuance of the $7.2 million certificates of obligation. Their concerns centered around unforeseen emergencies, marking a stark contrast to previous petitions where citizens supported elections in accordance with state laws.
Contempt and Legal Action
As tensions rose, the court held one individual, identified as Ms. Enriqueta Diaz, in contempt for disruptive behavior and repeated “hateful and homophobic” remarks. The court resolved to proceed with the proper legal processes to address the fraudulent signatures and maintain the integrity of the election system. This issue has turned into what seems like a money grab effort, as Diaz is seeking a reward after claiming Maverick County violated her civil rights even though the video shows a disturbance being created, thus provoking a warning and ultimately the removal of the disturbance to continue Commissioner Court according to the video obtained.
Impact on $7.2 Million Obligation
The revelation of voter fraud cast a shadow over the $7.2 million certificates of obligation, prompting questions about the motives behind the fraudulent signatures and the potential impact on the perception of Maverick County voters. Authorities have pledged to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter to unearth the truth. The pursuit of certificate of obligations was ultimately dropped by Maverick County.
The pursuit of the certificate of obligations faced a tumultuous journey as the issue escalated to the Federal Court in Del Rio, where it was decided that the county drop the issue. Although Maverick County will have to spend additional taxpayer funds to defend itself in court in February 2024 to showcase evidence of Enriqueta Diaz’s provocative behavior towards members of the commissioners’ court, including yelling “hateful and homophobic” remarks. Maverick County Taxpayers will have to fund the defense needed because of the claim of a civil rights violation by Enriqueta Diaz.
The scandal of petition fraud has not only questioned the legitimacy of the petition but has also opened a broader conversation about the integrity of the democratic process in Maverick County. As the legal proceedings unfold, the community awaits answers regarding the motives behind the fraudulent signatures and the potential consequences for those involved. The impact on decision-making processes and the county’s reputation remains uncertain as Maverick County navigates through this unprecedented scandal.
