It is no secret that Cameron County Clerk-elect Sylvia Garza-Perez and the principals in the Hernandez vote harvesting machine have been great pals.
But now, as the six women indicted last week on mail-in vote fraud scramble to seek legal counsel to defend them form the charges brought up as a result of the joint state-federal task force, all indications are that more than one of the politiqueras will cut a deal with the prosecution that will lead them to the paymasters and candidates who shelled out the dough for their services.Our sources tell us that at least one has told investigators that Norma Hernandez and Garza Perez were the conduits through which their payments came. Depending on what deal prosecutors make with the women, their statements implicating the two may result in further indictments.
Garza-Perez, who doesn't face any opposition in November's general election, may enter office under a cloud. It is expected that the trials – if there isn't a plea bargain entered before that – will probably happen next January.
Between then and now, it is expected that some of the women's attorneys will try to cut deals in return for testimony implicating those further up the mail-in fraud chain.
And while the focus seems to be on the races in the 2012 local Democratic primary runoffs, we have also learned that Texas State Board of Education member Ruben Cortez has also received visits from the task force investigators and has acquired counsel to face any possible repercussions from the large number of mail-in votes he received in his win over Celeste Sanchez, the San Benito Independent School District assistant superintendent and now mayor of San Benito.
During those elections, several candidates running as a slate garnered the majority of the mail-in votes, including Carlos Masso, (345), Abelardo Gomez (415) and Erin Garcia Hernandez (319).
Cortez received 407 and Denise Blamchard 293. Masso was running against Luis Saenz for Cameron County District Attorney. Gomez was running against Pete Avila for Precinct 2 Constable. and Garcia Hernandez was running for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2, Place 2 and Blanchard was running for the the District 27 U.S. Representative seat against Filemon Vela, Jr.
For years, persistent rumors have held that not only were the women managed by Norma Hernandez, but that some will go as far as to tell investigators that they personally witnessed ballot tampering at her residence on behalf of her candidates. At least two or three eyewitnesses say they saw mail-in ballot envelopes being opened and the votes changed to make up a deficit.
If such testimony is forthcoming from some of the women charged in the indictments, it could further tighten the noose on the vote-harvesting that has been going on for decades in southeast Cameron County.

A cada capillita se le llega su fiestecita!!
Karma is a ??
Let's hope the list of users of the results of fraudulent votes includes Elia Conejo Lopez and goes back to pick up on the fraud of Aurora de la Garza. I expect Joe Rivera will be on that list too, along with most of the Democratic office holders....especially the Sanchez twins. Let's round up the politiqueras and make a list of those who benefited from fraudulent votes.
It's about time.!!!!
It's about time this is exposed.
We have a former Sheriff caught taking money from drug dealers.
A former DA indicted for racketeering and in prison.
A former County Commissioner Ernie Hernandez who resigned due to corruption.
Who wants to bet they had the
highest mail in votes too. People who cheat to win, anything, to get elected. Because they are crooks. That is what is wrong with this town. Why we can't get ahead like McAllen or San Antonio. We have crooks who can't even win an election buying votes just to get themselves in.
BURN THEM ALL....ESPECIALTY GOMEZ!!!
Why are local women obese and masculine? In Guadalajara all the women all beautiful. Is it something in the water?
Joe Rivera ...Sylvia Garza perez .....
This investigation has gone on long enough. When are the real criminals, the politicians, going to start getting charged with fraud?
chuy dont get all excited, all the candidates have been doing this voter harvesting for decades just ask joe rivera el kingpin, juan magallenes and gilberto hinojosa plus many others and as always they will come out cuz nobody knows a thing, its the democRATic party we love so much here in cameron ocunty, adios, cca
The inmates are running the asylum !
one flew overs the cuckoo nest just ask rene oliviera
Go back to school please.
The crooked criminal minded have infiltrated the Democratic Party just like the perverts have infiltrated the Catholic Church Priesthood. Does that mean the Pope is a pervert too? Of course not
Those are not Democrats, they are criminals.
Not all members of the Democratic Party are crooks with agendas. Additionally, there are hundreds of Voter's who do not sell their vote for the price of a cigarette pack or chicken plate and who respect the sanctity of our voting process.
Unfortunately, too many scum have infiltrated the parties on either side of the isle. It has become obvious to anyone with half a brain, that the majority of politicians/candidates past and present have turned the political parties on their head as they line jump when one party does not suit their agenda as the competition is too stiff on one side or the other. That is not being true to any party mantra, that is simply self serving.
Too many fake state level democrats representing the people as well. When they vote against the party mantra and join lockstep with Republicans to oppress the rights of certain citizen’s in particular Texas women, they are betraying the women of Texas and individual liberty. Yet, this state talks about how it loves less government intrusion, its actions (mandates) against women’ rights and liberties are completely opposite. They speak with forked tongues.
Let us hope the courts will not continue to allow this perversion of our voting process by elected thugs to continue reigning, but instead find them all guilty of the RICO Act (conspiracy in racketeering) which is exactly what they have done for all too long.
May those who sold their soul to the devil including voter’s who were paid for their votes be found guilty and sit behind bars for quite some time. May they all be stripped of their right to vote and be banned from being involved in politics specifically with aiding any campaign in any form or fashion.
The good people of Brownsville, Cameron County and the real Democrats deserve better than what they have been served up for way too long.
