Massive vote fraud in Houston/Harris County

Fox News:

When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends sat down and started talking politics several years ago, they soon agreed that talking wasn’t enough. They wanted to do more. So when the 2008 election came around, “about 50” of her friends volunteered to work at Houston’s polling places.

“What we saw shocked us,” she said. “There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help. It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights.”

Their shared experience, she says, created “True the Vote,” a citizen-based grassroots organization that began collecting publicly available voting data to prove that what they saw in their day at the polls was, indeed, happening -- and that it was happening everywhere.

“It was a true Tea Party moment,” she remembers.

Like most voter watchdog groups, she said, her group started small. They decided to investigate voting fraud in general, not just at the polling places, and at first they weren't even sure what to look for -- and where to look for it.

...

Their work paid off. Two weeks ago the Harris County voter registrar took their work and the findings of his own investigation and handed them over to both the Texas secretary of state’s office and the Harris County district attorney.

Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Steve Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid. The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.

...
There is more.

This may explain why Democrats have done better in Harris County in recent elections. It raises questions about several local races including judicial elections. It also points out the need for a Voter ID law to stop this kind of vote fraud.

  2. That's frightening. I hope people all over the USA start looking hard at the people who are registering voters - especially if they are related to any union or to the Democrats.

  3. I'm all for "the Iraqi solution": when you go to the polling place, you register your vote with a purple (indelible ink) fingerprint.

    Voila! No busloads of voters being ferried from polling place to polling place to cast repeat votes. The "purple finger" would deny them access for second and subsequent votes.
