Hard hitting journalism uncovers voter fraud!
County Uncovers Voter Fraud Plot from local TV station KPRC.
Watch the clip. Harris County Tax Assessor Paul Bettencourt explains the oh-so-fiendish plot.
I wonder why they needed to get this on the local news today? Is it because the debate on voter ID is actively going on ? I say Yes!
I wonder if Paul Bettencourt is contemplating a run for higher office?
I have a theory – and it scares me a touch, because I hesitate to think an operative could be so inept. This is a frame from the newsclip shown by KPRC. As they flipped through the stack of “fraudulent voter registration” forms, there was a very pregnant pause over this form:
————————————————————————————
I don’t remember ever being asked for party affiliation on my voter registration, and the form from the Secretary of State doesn’t ask it either. Where did this come from?
And of course, conspiring fraudulent voters will always indicate that they are ‘Black’ and belong to the ‘Democrat’ party.
I feel safer already.
Update:
It appears a number of voter registration applications have trickled into the Harris County Tax Office since February, according to the Office spokesman I talked to. Over 50 applications were mailed from El Paso, listing a non-existent Houston address.
The Tax Office spokesman said the news crew was there for something else entirely, but they saw the voter fraud memo on a desk and the reporter said “hey, there’s a story!” So they did one.
Never mind that no fraudulent votes could have taken place – there would be nowhere to deliver the voter reg cards since the address doesn’t exist.
Good post, Racy.
This appears to be an extraordinarily stupid attempt by a cadre of Republicans to make Dems look guilty. KPRC got sucked into the black hole of idiocy.
Just my o, of course.
IDiocy
You think Bettancourt would be raising a stink about someone trying to pass off fake forms too. I’m not talking about the information on the form, but the form itself. With something that unique, there might be a way to trace that back. Even back in our poll tax days, I don’t think we asked for party affiliation. We have asked for race but probably not party affiliation.
This so looks like a very bad hoax.
The forms shown are “national” voter registration forms prescribed by the federal government that must be accepted in all states.
Wow, imagine that. Our fraud perpetrators are using national registration forms. Getting the plain old Texas forms available all over the state at most post offices, or at county clerks isn’t good enough. They go the extra mile to “find” federal level registration forms. National groups that do voter registration might come into the state during a presidential year, but on an off year? Come on.
Still reeks like a plant to me.
This plot is a 3 dollar bill, yes
