Yep, that TX voter-fraud crackdown really worked.....

[tbyg52]

More than two years ago, Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott pledged to root out what he called an epidemic of voter fraud in Texas.

He established a special unit in his office, tapped a $1.4 million federal crime-fighting grant and dispatched investigators.

Since then, Mr. Abbott has prosecuted 26 cases – all against Democrats, and almost all involving blacks or Hispanics, a review by The Dallas Morning News shows.

2. The Highland Park 2005 election

They contrast the prosecutions with complaints that more than 100 ballots were mishandled in a 2005 Highland Park election, a case in which Mr. Abbott took no action.

Mr. Abbott declined requests for an interview. In news releases, he has touted his office's efforts to combat what he says is widespread fraud at the ballot box.

Highland Park is predominately Republican. So of course their "technical" violations were just given a pass by Abbott. :grr:

Hi All
The election's are rigged. Check his out.

http://www.seattle911visibilityproject.org/theft_of_citizen_voting_rights.htm

Their purging legal voters off the registers voter's list.
This is what they did to me in 2004. In Taylor county

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act

They have been changing this law. To make it legal to purge your name off the list.
In Texas they have it set up to where now they can purge your name at will.
How every many it takes to win the election.
Go check out the Texas Voter Right Act 0f 1994. On the Texas Government page. And you will see what I mean.
As long as nobody does any thing about this. We will never win an election again.

Chapter 16


What they forgot to tell you is that Your voter record is all on the computer..
When they delete your voting record. It's gone.
No Paper trail.
No paper trail of you ever having registered, in the first place. No paper trail of any notice. Or review. Or appeal.
If their is no evidence to mount an appeal on. There will be no appeal.
And this is how they are rigging the election in ever state in the union.
Because their is no paper trail. They now delete at will. Ever how many names it takes to win the election.
It is illegal to destroy public records.
It's a felon to destroy evidence in order to avoid prosecution. In a Felon.
Voter fraud
