Sounds like you're talking about demonrats, Garnet!

Voter fraud is alive and well in the area. One of my employees was in Duval County and asked a favor of the District Clerk. He agreed if the employee would sign a voter registration card.

The employee objected said he was already registered in the county where he lived. The District Clerk said, "just sign it."

To his credit, my employee refused.

Voter fraud is the exclusive domain of the Democrat party.

Hankey-Pankey Ping!

[steplock]

If I wanted to make sure my party always won, I would run as the opposition party candidate and then spend thousand$$ - jump up and down - look like a raging madman and embarass the entire party with idiocy.

Looks like this is a RINO for sure - and the democrats have this area locked up!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep! All I have to do is look at the Red/Blue map from past elections,
look at Texas and see where the voter fraud in Texas is!

Has Talmadge Heflin made any attempt at all to explain his behavior, or has he just said "screw everybody, I'm so powerful I can do anything I want."?

Wrong on both counts! You're seeing this through the eyes of the Express-News reporter. Eric is also a rancher and Gonzalez-Toureilles is an attorney and was, and is, supported by the trial lawyers! District 35 is all red counties except for Jim Wells. This Rats nest needs to be cleaned out and some people serve jail time.

The past taints Dist. 35 dispute (Texas)

Excerpt:

ALICE — The rich tradition of election hanky-panky is alive and well in South Texas, according to Eric Opiela, who, with his recent loss in a state representative race, counts himself as its latest victim.

But to those who oversee elections here, the ghosts of the legendary "Duke of Duval" George Parr and the crooked politics of years past have been exorcised.

Opiela, a Republican lawyer from Karnes City, lost the District 35 race on Nov. 2 to Yvonne Gonzalez-Toureilles of Alice by about 835 votes out of more than 45,000 cast.

Although he carried five of the district's seven counties, Opiela lost by almost 5,000 votes in Jim Wells County, Gonzalez-Toureilles' home turf. He also lost narrowly in Bee County.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

How many illegal demonrat votes were cast for Vo in blue Travis county?

[DustyMoment]

Let's see, now.

Which party in Texas has sent a majority of its senators to neighboring states to avoid the prospect of a quorum so they wouldn't have to lose a vote?

Which party is noted for bringing dead voters to polling places on election day?

Which party is noted for committing blatant election fraud?

Which party is noted for lying, deceiving and masquerading as the other party in order to get elected?

Which party is noted for its naked need for power?

Which party is noted for pushing its socialist agenda, homosexuality, abortion "rights", exploiting minorities, tax and spend policies, vote buying, race baiting, hate America politics?

I find it VERY hard to believe that the Republican candidate (Olieta?) lost fair and square.

Interesting that Jim Wells had the lowest turnout percentage of all the Counties in the district. It looks like a different race once outside Jim Wells...

Wow, vote fraud in South Texas? Who'd a thunk it?

[izzatzo]

You've got'em pretty well wired. Also, what the 'Rats mean when they say that "every vote should be counted" is count every vote be it a legal one or not because we 'Rats are sure going to generate a lot of illegal ones and they must be counted, too. It's the only way they can win.

[bayourod]

What are you talking about? Heflin is from Red Harris County. Are you familiar with what he did. Every Republican I know is as revolted as I am with his use of political influence to steal his immigrant housekeeper's baby.

[SwinneySwitch]

Sorry. How many illegal demonrat votes were cast for Vo in red Harris county?

[steplock]

True - could be, but in this case it seems they have all avenues sealed up real tight and the only recourse would be BEFORE and DURING the election rather than after the fact.

I would put more energy into monitoring the next registration/voting methods. But then, I don;t live down in that area and there may be voter fraud ala LBJ where if you ask questions, you end up in the graveyard voting democrat!
