Feds Charge Hispanic Immigrant with Illegally Voting in Several Florida Elections, Lying on Immigration Forms

[essentialsaltes]

A registered Republican illegally voted in two presidential elections prior to becoming a U.S. citizen, the feds allege.

Yalemis Onasch, a 28-year-old Cuban national [at the time], cast fraudulent ballots in the past two presidential elections before finally becoming an American citizen in 2022, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by The Daily Beast.

Further digging into historical voter data, the FBI discovered Onasch had voted in the 2014 midterms, as well as the 2020 primary and general elections [in addition to 2016], the complaint alleges.

Onasch’s troubles were compounded by “den[ying] under oath having registered to vote or voting as part of her naturalization application and interview,” says the complaint.

2 minor points, he's a she, and I don't believe she was an illegal immigrant. Just an illegal voter.

Why is it always the crooks who vote GOP?

I think that if you live as a legal resident in a country for 8 years, you should have a say in its politics.

At a local level that is definitely reasonable.

I predict it's a Cuban Republican...

Nailed it!

This is a person who is probably not wealthy or influential - so it is off to jail with her.

American justice.

 

[Say it aint so]

You mean DeSanitis's 2.4 million dollar special voter fraud outfit didn't uncover this?
I guess with 2 guilty pleas they are still 1.2 million per conviction.

Hopefully the sentencing won't be too heavy handed for such a lightweight crime.

I believe theres at least one released ex-felon who was sentenced to 4 years in florida for voting. I find the jim crow laws banning ex-felons from voting absurd.

She was not a citizen. This is a deportable and lifetime ban offense.

You mean like what Crystal Mason received?

Democrat candidates appear on ballots that are issued to "Republicans," too.

That was an insanely heavy sentence. What a shame.

How does that answer my question?

Identifying as a Republican does not guarantee that she voted Republican, or even intended to.
You cannot determine which side she was playing for based on that information.

Yes you can. Don’t be silly.

They've added a new fallacy: No True Republican

They... pfft.

We've been reduced to pure, unadulterated tribalism. What a disgrace.
