Investigation
probes charges
of illegal voting
McALLEN (AP) — The Justice De
partment will investigate allegations that
hundreds of aliens are registered illegally
to vote in South Texas, a federal pros
ecutor said Wednesday.
“I don’t think these aliens vote, but I
think votes are cast for them,” said Jack
Wolfe, an assistant U.S. attorney based
in McAllen, adding he has begun to
coordinate the investigation with the
FBI.
Republicans in Hidalgo County ap
proached the U.S. Attorney’s office in
McAllen after telephone-campaign vol
unteers who used the voter-registration
list inadvertently found hundreds of non
citizens, Tom Wingate, county GOP
chairman, said.
‘‘We started getting people saying,
‘There must be some mistake; we can’t
vote; we’re not citizens,”’ Wingate said.
Radio advertisements produced by lo
cal Republicans warned that non-citizens
can be prosecuted for voting.
The ads prompted claims by Demo
crats that the GOP was trying to intim
idate Hispanics.
The dispute resulted in the Justice De
partment sending 32 observers to oversee
Tuesday’s election in Hidalgo County,
the state’s only county to receive such
federal scrutiny.
Federal observers in the county Tues
day reported no violations of the Voting
Rights Act, which prohibits discrimina
tion in the electoral process.
Wingate accused the Democrats of not
caring about illegally registered voters,
because the non-citizens would be more
likely to vote for Democrats.
‘‘There doesn’t seem to be any desire
on the part of the Democrats to protect
the integrity of the voting process,”
Wingate said Wednesday.
County Democratic Chairman Richard
Alamia responded, ‘‘That’s a damn lie.
The Democrats do care about abiding by
the law.”
He accused the local GOP of trying to
gain politically by raising the allegations
shortly before the election.
Federal prosecutor Wolfe said the
U.S. Attorney’s office waited until the
election was over to start looking into the
vote fraud allegations because they
didn’t want to be accused, one way or
the other, of being involved in partisan
politics and trying to influence the out
come of an election.
He said he asked the Republicans not
to show him their evidence until after
election day.
Wolfe said investigators may not find
any evidence of large numbers of ille
gally registered voters, but said “ghosts
on the voting fdlls” have turned up be
fore.
“In the past, we’ve had indications of
the same type of activity going on,”
Wolfe said. “And we have arrested ille
gal aliens . . . who had voter registration
cards on them, and obviously they have
those cards to prove citizenship. ’ ’
The courts, which use voter registra
tion lists to obtain jurors, also have en
countered non-citizens who were not
aware they were registered to vote,
Wolfe said.
“What you can do, is you can now
vote for them,” Wolfe said. “You can
request absentee ballots in their name.
You can even appear at the polling
place” with false identification.
ionvicted man to face new trial
se
Austin cap) — The man who
(leaded guilty in the “Little Boy Blue”
Hadoned-body case in Nebraska is
lack in Texas for trial on a murder
■ Epge in the shooting of a former room-
late.
Eli Stutzman, 38, has been serving a
dson term in Nebraska after pleading
;uilty to abandoning the body of his son,
)anny, in a ditch in Nebraska after the
III died during a cross-country trip.
Stlutzman told authorities his son died
a 1985 after developing a respiratory
roblem that worsened on a trip to Ohio
from Wyoming. He left the body in a
ditch near Chester, Neb., and a motorist
found the body on Dec. 24, 1985.
Stutzman was indicted* July 18 on a
Texas murder charge in the 1985 shoot
ing of Glenn Pritchett, 24.
Detective Gary Cutler and Rick
Whitehead of the Travis County Sher
iff’s Department flew Stutzman from
Lincoln Correctional Center in Lincoln,
Neb., to Austin on Tuesday.
The body of Pritchett, who shared a
house with Stutzman and his son, was
found May 12, 1985, in rural Travis
County. He had been shot once in the
head.
Stutzman pleaded guilty in January in
Thayer County, Neb., district court to
misdemeanor charges of abandoning a
human body and concealing a death. He
was sentenced to one year in prison on
the abandoning charge and to six months
on the concealing a death charge.
Nebraska authorities were never able
to determine the cause of the boy’s
death.
