Very good. 6 Then Ms. Flores, today, having received your plea, 7 I will in fact find you guilty. 8 found you guilty, I'm going to follow the agreement that you 9 reached with the State. 10 Understand that today, having I'm going to assess your fine in the amount of 11 $1,000, plus your court costs in the amount of $316. I'm going 12 to order that those be paid to the San Patricio County 13 Collections Department. 14 I will sentence you to serve 365 days confinement 15 in jail, at this time suspending that jail time commitment and 16 placing you on a period of probation for 540 days. 17 As conditions of your probation that you 18 previously went over with your attorney, there will be two that 19 will be directed and added by this Court. 20 complete 60 hours of community service as assigned by the 21 probation department. 22 days confinement in jail as a condition of your probation.

ROBINSON: -- if the Court would allow me Okay. First issue, Your Honor, I 7 didn't advise Ms. Flores of any of that. 8 years old. 9 bedridden in the home, house, that she cares for every day. She has her husband, who is 10 11 And Ms. Flores is 76 79 years old, who is She also has a daughter that is blind that lives with her that she cares for every day. 12 She's the sole provider for each one of these 13 individuals. 14 there would be nobody to care for them. 15 to consider that in this situation. 16 If she did any kind of confinement in this case, I would ask the Court We do understand the type of case this is, and 17 she's entered a plea of guilty to it, but we would ask the 18 Court to consider those situations, and she has absolutely no 19 record other than this. 20 this is one isolated incident that occurred. 21 assessing that sentence. 23 opposition to that. 25 And I would ask the Court to consider that in 22 24 Never even had a speeding ticket. Q. Robstown? (By the Court) I don't believe the State has any Ms. Flores, how long have you lived in 9 1 A. All my life, Your Honor. 2 Q. All your life? 3 A. Yes, ma'am. 4 Q. Are you active in politics? 5 A. Well, I'm not no more. 6 Q. How active in politics were you prior to you being 7 arrested, I guess, on this charge? 8 A. Well, you know, my son is a constable. 9 Q. Okay. 10 A. And -- 11 Q. Is he an elected official? 12 A. Yes, ma'am. 13 Q. Was he the person of whom you were helping -- 14 A. Yes, ma'am. 15 Q. -- during this election? 16 A. Yes, ma'am. 17 Q. Do you understand how absolutely horrible and wrong 18 19 Yes. that was? A. Well, at the time I didn't, Your Honor, to be honest 20 with you. I thought I was doing the right thing. 21 know that I did wrong. But now I 22 Q. When did you think you were doing right? 23 A. Because I didn't know I couldn't do that. 24 Q. You didn't know -- 25 A. No, ma'am. 10 1 2 3 Q. -- that you couldn't take someone else's ballot and fill it out for your son? A. No, I didn't do that, Your Honor. 4 BY MR. ROBINSON: I went in there -- Judge, that's not what's being 5 alleged. What's being alleged is that -- that Ms. Flores had 6 made a suggestion to someone as to how to vote. 7 There was no claim as to -- that she'd marked the 8 ballot for anybody, or took the -- that ballot or anything of 9 that nature. 10 She had a sample ballot that was -- when she was 11 at this individual's home, and that sample ballot was alleged 12 to have been a marking or whatever to try to advise somebody 13 how to vote, which is not -- which is forbidden as far as 14 someone helping an individual to vote. 15 You can stand outside and poll and politic all you 16 wanted, but once you're signing the ballot, that was a no-no, 17 and she didn't understand that. 18 BY THE COURT: Well, in reviewing the short amount 19 of discovery that was provided to the Court, it says this case 20 was opened based on findings during the investigation. 21 alleged during the primary run-off investigation that Rosita 22 Rosie Flores, 65, committed voter fraud during the 23 November 2016 Nueces County general election. 24 25 It was Specifically, it is alleged that Flores took and marked the mail-in ballot of voter Matilde Rendon without 11 1 Rendon's permission. It is also alleged that Flores took and 2 marked the ballots of Caroline and Ramiro Zapata without the 3 permission of the Zapatas. 4 BY THE DEFENDANT: 5 BY THE COURT: 6 BY MR. KUTNICK: No, ma'am. That's what you just plead to. Your Honor, for whatever it's 7 worth, those allegations as they pertain to voter Rendon are 8 pending upstairs in felony district court. 9 Court that Ms. Rendon, because of her age, is not able to I can inform the 10 assist the State, based on memory issues, on those allegations, 11 so we filed the charges that we can, we think, make if we went 12 to trial with Your Honor, that being the unlawful assistance. 13 Those charges are along the lines of what 14 Mr. Robinson stated that, while assisting, she brought into the 15 home a sample ballot with, I guess, in my mind, marked off with 16 her slate of candidates, and with that there's an improper 17 influence, I guess, on the voter. 18 19 BY MR. ROBINSON: Judge, may I address the Court on that issue? 20 BY THE COURT: Yes, sir. 21 BY MR. ROBINSON: As far as the Zapatas that are 22 included in the affi -- in the discovery, upon contact by the 23 attorney general's office, whatever was alleged and reported 24 initially was not verified by the Zapatas, and there's never 25 been any allegations or charges that there was any wrongdoing 12 1 on the part of their ballot. 2 The wrongdoing applies to just one ballot, which 3 is Matilde Rendon. 4 family member that made that allegation to the AG's office, and 5 Matilde Rendon has not verified that allegation at any time to 6 the AG's office, and I believe the AG's office will verify 7 that. 8 9 And Matilde Rendon, quite frankly, had a BY THE COURT: Well, it says on here in exhibit list, "Zapata interview." 10 BY MR. ROBINSON: On Zapata's interview, Zapata 11 says that Rosie Flores had nothing to do with having them vote 12 a certain way or did anything illegal in any manner. 13 BY THE COURT: I mean, look, we either have voter 14 fraud or we don't. 15 specifically going out there trying to sway an election. 16 unfortunately in this situation, you were swaying it for your 17 own son. 18 Yeah, you do. Y'all are -- y'all are And Is that not correct? BY MR. KUTNICK: That ap -- although I'm a little 19 confused -- as far as that issue goes, the son, from what I 20 understand, had a contested election in the primary. 21 We're talking -- we're talking the November 22 election is the conduct here where I think her son was 23 unopposed, so I -- I can't explain what she was doing. 24 really couldn't tell you as the State -- 25 BY THE COURT: I Why were you out there doing this? 13 1 BY THE DEFENDANT: Let me tell you. 2 happened. 3 meet-the-members that were running for elections. 4 put Republicans and Democrats there. 5 This is what It was a rally day, it was a meet-the -We had to And this -- the son of the lady that called me, 6 and Hector Lopez, that was with a running member, too, you 7 know, called me -- it was me and my friend in the truck -- to 8 go and help his mother to help her to vote, because she 9 couldn't do it by herself. 10 They gave me the address, they gave me -- they 11 didn't gave me a number of where the house was, but they told 12 me where the house was. 13 mine went, and I knocked at the door, and we -- we had a little 14 trouble looking for the house, but we found the house. 15 they told me it was beside a church across the railroad tracks. 16 And so we -- me and this friend of Because So we found the house, and I knocked at the door. 17 The lady was there by herself. 18 know the lady. 19 son and this Hector Lopez sent me over there, out -- to me and 20 my friend. 21 22 The Who's your friend? Rensada (phonetic) Gonzalez. 23 BY THE COURT: 24 BY THE DEFENDANT: 25 I don't I went to that house because they sent me. BY THE COURT: A. It was an older lady. 90, but she -- she knows. Okay. And she's -- right now she's I mean I wouldn't be saying things 14 1 that aren't true. 2 And we went there, and we -- I knocked at the 3 door, and the lady came out, and I told her I was there to help 4 her, because her son and Hector Lopez had sent me. 5 said fine, come in. 6 And she And I went in, she got the paper, and we -- I 7 helped her do it, you know, and I gave her the paper that I had 8 in my hand that I left there that I signed was a paper that 9 they gave me, the son and Hector Lopez gave me, that there had 10 -- that's the way they were going to vote. 11 did. That's what I did. And I helped her. 12 BY THE COURT: 13 BY THE DEFENDANT: 14 How much did you get paid for this? Nothing, Miss. BY THE COURT: How many other people did you assist with? 17 BY THE DEFENDANT: 18 BY THE COURT: 19 did you go out and assist to help vote? 20 How many other people? How many other ballots and people BY THE DEFENDANT: Oh, quite a few. 21 remember the -- now, but quite a few. 22 it was people that I knew, you know. 23 would call me, Miss. 24 people to vote, Miss. 25 I didn't get paid nothing. 15 16 And that's what we I don't You know, but I -- I -People that they had -- I don't go knocking doors and asking BY THE COURT: And how many -- how much -- how 15 1 long have you been doing this? 2 BY THE DEFENDANT: Not long, Miss. 3 I'm not going to do it no more. 4 I learned a lesson from this, Miss. 5 BY THE COURT: 6 BY THE DEFENDANT: Not long. No more am I going to do it. What did you learn? That I shouldn't go there, that 7 I shouldn't do that. 8 because -- and I went there because they sent me there. 9 didn't go knocking on -- That that was wrong what I did, 10 BY THE COURT: 11 BY THE DEFENDANT: 12 BY THE COURT: 13 BY THE DEFENDANT: Who's they? I The son -- The son and the Hector Lopez. Who is Hector Lopez? It was -- he's an official 14 right now. 15 Lopez, he's with the city council or -- 16 But He's a -- I guess with the -- let's see. BY MR. ROBINSON: Hector Judge, Hector Lopez was having a 17 meet-the-candidates forum that day in Robstown, and it was a 18 Republican and Democrat. 19 a bunch of people that were running for office that were there. 20 That's when Ms. Flores and her friend, It was a big get-together. There was 21 Ms. Gonzales, pulled up, and Ms. Rendon -- Ms. Flores claims 22 Ms. Rendon's family member comes up with Hector Gonzales and 23 asks them to go make the -- go see their aunt or whatever it 24 was, mother, I can't remember exactly. 25 to that house. But that's how she got 16 1 But what's -- what's interesting, Your Honor, on 2 all this stuff, I want to make it clear to the Court, I 3 understand what the Court could imagine was going on, what it 4 may look like, but there was a big investigation done on this 5 thing, on this situation. 6 with many of the ballots that Ms. Flores allegedly aided and 7 assisted on, and there was no wrongdoing found on any of them. 8 On any of the others. 9 there's no crimes alleged on any of these other ones. 10 Not just with Matilde Rendon, but And there's no counts alleged and And they were talked to by either members of the 11 Nueces County District Clerk's office -- I mean County Clerk's 12 Office, investigators for the -- through them, and 13 investigators through the attorney general's office. 14 every one of those situations, no wrongdoing was done. 15 And on This is the only case where there was a situation, 16 and this situation was -- arose by, quite frankly, a lady that 17 was involved with the other campaign, not Matilde Rendon. 18 niece said all this stuff to the AG's office. 19 has never been able to verify any of this, these actions, to 20 the AG's office or to any investigator, and she, as we sit here 21 today, has not verified any of that. 22 Her Matilde Rendon And that's -- it's just -- it's not as big a deal 23 as -- as it may seem. I -- I don't mean to say -- it's not as 24 widespread as it may seem. 25 BY THE COURT: It's a very isolated incident. Mr. Kutnick, on behalf of the 17 1 State, what do you say in regard to Mr. Robinson's allegations 2 that this is really a lot of nothing, is what he's basically 3 saying? 4 BY MR. KUTNICK: I think what the Court has before 5 it is serious. 6 just assist, especially when it comes to an elderly person who, 7 I think, was 83 at the time. 8 9 An assistance should be totally neutral and There should be -- it's absolutely wrong, and I think Mr. Robinson agrees, and I think Ms. Flores agrees now, 10 that it's absolutely wrong to bring a sample ballot in with 11 suggestions and implications of who they should be voting for. 12 I can only speak to we brought to this Court the 13 one thing that could be proven in this instance. 14 think voter fraud is real, it is wide -- potentially 15 widespread. 16 accountable for other people's actions, but we are bringing -- 17 bringing her to account for what we were able to prove in this 18 instance. 19 I think -- I I think it's -- you know, we can't hold Ms. Flores So it is serious. I would leave it to the Court 20 whether the 30 days should be done or not done. 21 the Court, I do have a really -- a real issue with the victim 22 in this case being able to testify, so my office would like to 23 get this case disposed of, if at all possible. 24 25 As I have told We will and can take it to trial, if something happens with today's proceedings, but that being said, we think 18 1 what we proposed to the Court is fair. 2 BY THE COURT: State doesn't believe that the 3 citizens of our community demand that under these circumstances 4 that in regards to voter fraud that a person be sentenced to 5 jail? 6 BY MR. KUTNICK: Your Honor, we'll -- I'll state 7 it this way: 8 to the Court, based on all the circumstances facing us at the 9 time. 10 11 BY THE COURT: I'll reduce your jail time confinement as a condition of your probation to ten days confinement in jail. 14 15 Well, unfortunately, this Court disagrees. 12 13 The State feels good about the plea we proposed Is there a time period in which you need to turn yourself in? 16 BY MR. ROBINSON: 17 possibly have a minute to speak with her -- 18 BY THE COURT: 19 BY MR. ROBINSON: 20 BY THE COURT: 21 BY MR. ROBINSON: 22 BY THE COURT: 23 BY MR. ROBINSON: 24 25 (Pause in proceedings. the docket.) There would be, Judge. Could I Yes, sir. -- about that? You may. May we be excused? Yes, sir. Thank you, Your Honor. Court handled further matters from 19 1 2 BY THE COURT: Mr. Robinson, do y'all have -- where is Mr. Kutnick? 3 BY MR. ROBINSON: 4 BY THE COURT: 5 Weren't you just sitting over there? 6 7 May we approach, Judge? BY MR. KUTNICK: I was a moment ago. I moved like ten seconds ago. 8 BY MR. ROBINSON: 9 BY THE COURT: 10 May we approach, Judge? You may. BY MR. ROBINSON: Judge, we had been outside, and 11 we had conferred about the possibility of when we would ask the 12 Court if we could start the Saturday commitments. 13 14 And would the Court be okay with July 7th, and then each individual Saturday after that? 15 BY THE COURT: Yes, sir. 16 BY MR. ROBINSON: My calculations have it starting 17 July 7th, Your Honor, and the last day would be September the 18 8th. 19 I believe that's each consecutive Saturday thereafter. And Your Honor, we would ask the Court if the 20 Court would allow Ms. Flores to turn herself in at 10 a.m. on 21 July 7th, and to be released at 11 p.m. July 7th, and then the 22 same each Saturday thereafter. 23 BY THE COURT: Okay. All right. So what the 24 Court then will do is note on the docket that the ten days of 25 jail time will be served on Saturdays. The -- check yourself 20 1 into jail by 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, to be released by 10 2 p.m. on Saturday evenings. 3 The first Saturday that the service will begin is 4 July 7th, and then I show July 14th, July 21st, July 28th, the 5 4th -- August 4th, August 11th, August 18th, August 25th, 6 September 1st, September 8th. 7 BY MR. ROBINSON: 8 BY THE COURT: 9 10 that? Is that correct? That is what I have, Your Honor. Okay. All right. Did you get all So you're going to have a lot of documents that you're going to take with you today. 11 What you're going to do is you're going to go with 12 the bailiff first. 13 paperwork. 14 He's going to get a thumbprint on the You're going to go to the clerk's office, where 15 you'll receive a copy of everything. 16 collections department. 17 schedule and a payment arrangement to pay out your fine and 18 court costs. 19 You're going to go to the You'll sit down with them, do a fee Then you're going to go across the street to the 20 probation department, sit down with them, get your terms and 21 conditions established for your probation. 22 What you'll have with you are commitment orders, 23 and so you'll have a separate order for each day. Make sure 24 when you go to jail in the mornings that when you check 25 yourself in you take the right commitment order. Because if 21 1 you -- if you show up, even though you're flying by my order 2 and doing what you're supposed to, they're not going to take 3 you, because they don't know what to do with you. 4 BY THE DEFENDANT: 5 BY THE COURT: Okay. Okay? So make sure you take them 6 with you. If -- I know this is going to be a long time between 7 now and then. 8 make sure you let us know prior to the day that you're supposed 9 to turn yourself in so that we can get you a new one. If something happens and you lose those orders, 10 BY THE DEFENDANT: 11 BY THE COURT: Yes, ma'am. Okay? And I understand what we 12 talked about with Mr. Robinson, that you might have some sick 13 individuals in your family, and the Court sympathizes and 14 understands that, and if something happens during the duration 15 of the time in which you're supposed to sent -- serve your jail 16 time, you need to contact your attorney so that he can contact 17 the Court and we can work whatever we need to out. 18 BY THE DEFENDANT: 19 BY THE COURT: 20 BY THE DEFENDANT: 21 BY THE COURT: Okay? Yes, ma'am, Your Honor. Do you have any questions? No, ma'am, Your Honor. All right. I have followed the 22 agreement with the -- that you reached with your attorney, so 23 you'll have no right to appeal what has taken place without 24 being granted permission by this Court. 25 BY MR. ROBINSON: Thank you. 22 1 BY THE COURT: Just be patient. It's going to 2 take a while to get all those commitment orders. 3 ahead and start the process, and then they'll bring the 4 commitment orders to you, okay? 5 BY THE DEFENDANT: 6 BY THE COURT: You can go Thank you, Your Honor. When I say start the process, the 7 clerk's office, collections department, probation department. 8 Okay? 9 BY THE DEFENDANT: 10 BY MR. ROBINSON: 11 Thank you. Thank you, Judge. Your Honor, may I be excused? 12 BY THE COURT: Yes, sir. 13 BY MR. KUTNICK: 14 BY THE COURT: Thank you. Can I be excused?
