This not a surprise for Lufkin. I wonder if they also gave their Chupacabras a ride to the polls. Being pretty weird their's little doubt they would vote Democratic.

They should be arrested for "soliciting prostitution", since anyone who would sell out their vote for a bribe is a whore.

The Dems must be running low on money. Ice cream is cheaper than the usual cigarettes and crack rocks.

IF THEY GAVE THEM ICE CREAM, they BRIBED them! Never mind about the votes, get them on the bribery, which is a federal offense.

Got to love the people who will work to keep their government gravy train running even if it means exploiting the mentally-impaired.

No relative of mine would stay in that place another minute.

This is a reconstruction era tactic used by Southern Dims. to perpetuate the status quo. They still have the cemeteries to assist in their voting. That doesn't take any bribes. Every election the dead of Beria Cemetery arise to go vote.

A quick search in the Texas code makes it clear that retarded children are often (if not always) are judicially committed to State Schools. A cursory search did not find "voluntary commitment," and I did not look for Adult commitment information. Clearly, an adult person with this issue probably could not commit himself, because he would necessarily not have the capacity.

I hope a lawyer from Texas can get better information than this.

§ 55.02. MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL RETARDATION JURISDICTION. For the purpose of initiating proceedings to order mental health or mental retardation services for a child or for commitment of a child as provided by this chapter, the juvenile court has jurisdiction of proceedings under Subtitle C or D, Title 7, Health and Safety Code.
