In August 2010, Harris County Voter Registrar Leo Vasquez told ABC news (Houston affiliate KTRK), “We have evidence indicating violations of the Texas election code, falsified documents being submitted to this governmental office and possibly violations of federal election laws.” His office’s investigation found 1,597 instances of multiple applications for the same voter, 1,014 applications for folks already registered to vote, 325 for teenagers who are too young to register and 25 from folks who admitted on the application they are not even US citizens. Vasquez said the applications were all gathered by paid deputies with the group Houston Votes. Of the 25,000 applications the group filed in the last three months (June, July, August 2010), only 7,193 were actually for new voters.
True the Vote’s activities during the 2010 election cycle were largely confined to Harris County, Texas. True the Vote asserts that it uncovered numerous examples of voter fraud, stating, for example: “Vacant lots had several voters registered on them. An eight-bed halfway house had more than 40 voters registered at its address.” During the election, the Texas Democratic Party accused True the Vote of voter intimidation in largely Hispanic and African-American polling areas.
