Conservative watchdog group questions counties with too many voters
The Houston Comical ^ | Sunday, April 8, 2012 | Lise Olsen

Sixteen small counties across Texas appear to have more registered voters on their rolls as of 2010 than qualified citizens of voting age - a phenomenon prompting conservative Washington, D.C., watchdog group to question whether the "overcounts" could raise the potential for election fraud.

The Chronicle reviewed public records for all Texas counties and found evidence of surplus registered voters in rural Texas counties scattered statewide, including East Texas counties like Chambers, Trinity, and Polk, as well as border counties like Presidio in Big Bend country and Maverick County surrounding the border at Eagle Pass.

It is RACIST to question the enfranchisement of ANY person, be they living, dead, illegal, or suffering from multiple personality/ballot disorder.

3 of the 16 counties in question are border counties. The title of the article is very poor. I think it was chosen in the hopes that very few would understand what the problem really is. There are more people registered to vote than the number of eligible voters in the counties in question.

We have this going on up here in Minnesota as well. That’s how we ended up with Franken and Dayton both.

I’m sure Holder believes this is all manufactured or ‘new math’...

On a related theme, I was speaking with my brother the other day about the last city election that they had. Turns out that the new mayor was somebody who came from nowhere, threw his hat in at the last second, nobody knows anything about this fellow's background.... oh and he won in a landslide. My brother has lived in this city for over 40 years and is very active in municipal politics and so far, he has yet to find a single person who voted for this guy.

By the way, this past election was the first time that they used 'voting machines'. Do you think that there might be a connection to the outcome?

You wouldn't find "Liberal watchdog group" in a Houston Chronicle title.

I checked.

Via Google, "liberal watchdog group" only appeared in 37 articles, less than 10% of the time "conservative watchdog group" appeared.

They're pandering to the Democrat activists' narrative that conservatives only care about voting and voter fraud because of racism.

Maybe they meant the border with Louisiana. ;)

anyone find it suspicious that Holder wants to mess with Texas and South Carolina? no need for ID to vote in those states. And Obama has no problem with the Mexican invasion of Arizona? Hmm? maybe Obama needs to steal those states from McCain(2008 states} being Obama is gonna lose 5 to 7 states he won in 2008?

Large extended families - mostly related to office holders - come back to vote, said Sheriff Billy B. Hopper, who also serves as voter registrar.

People are supposed to vote where they live (unless they are a member of Congress).

Waller County, Texas is a huge problem because it includes Prairie View, which is a college town. I wonder how many of those students vote at home and also in Waller County?

They don’t.

Theoretically, someone who doesn’t vote is purged from the rolls after a prescribed amount of time. In reality, I’m not sure this happens, particularly in the more rural counties that may not have the computer capability of the metropolitan areas.

That’s probably all that’s happening here, rolls that are not purged when people move or die.

I would think otherwise were these inner-city and urban areas, but these are mostly rural and mostly conservative or blue-dog Dems.

Here's how liberals cheat the vote, well - one way...

They vote the living and dead who don't show up to vote. Any other kind of fraud is 'small potatoes' and can be used to draw attention away from the real cheating. The 'dead' and 'illegal' vote is a byproduct of the cheating - but the dead and illegals don't account for the majority of the votes stolen - that comes from voting folks on the roles who didn't show up for the election.

Cheating is usually done in black districts ...it's also why moter/voter is important to dems. They need names to 'work with'. A way to spot where cheating is happening is watch districts that are traditionally slow getting their vote in. They're slow because they need to know how many votes they need to add to get a ‘close’ win. Too large a win would cause suspicion in 'close' races.

James O’Keefe needs to set up cameras in these spots and ‘catch’ the fact that 100 vote in a precinct that shows 3,000 people voting. It's sad O'Keefe is the only real investigative journalist in the country. We need a few more. ...
