Being a Republican Precinct Chair and an Election Judge for about 15 years, I have had few problems that have called me to actually have to deal with any concerted effort to defraud anything in our voting precinct...
I did get a few folks come in and do some stupid things in the 2006 election for the TX-22 race at the time, but I again, attributed thsat to stupidity on their part...
One guy tried to get me to allow him to vote, even though he asked for and recieved a ballot by mail that was sent to him in Argentina (he worked for the State department) yet he managed to show up in person to vote that day...He tolld me I have the authority to allow him to vote...Yet I told him he needed to produce that ballot mailed to him, and he could have voted with no problems...He could not produce it, so I told him the alternatieve was to go downtown and get an affidavit and bring it back, and I would put him at the head of the line to vote that day...
He told me he had been voting here to 17 years...To which I told him I’d never seen him before...That shut him up pretty quick, and after a couple of hours I made good on my side of the deal and put him at the front of the line after he brought back the affidavit from the downtown office...
Some liberals really need to understand that we play by the rules in this county (Harris), and the more BS they produce, the more we are going to police this situation up...
Be aware we are also being tested...I had a lady actually come up to me and ask me whothe Republican candidate for Mayor was???
I told her I cannot even tell her who the democrats were...
She responded with a classic: “I won’t tell anyone (under her breath)”
I had to tell her to pay attention in the future so she wouldn’t have to ask that kind of innappropriate question...She also was someone I had never seen before voting in my precinct...
Just flat out amazing to me that this kind of crap still goes on...
I worked this election in a genteel, clean suburb for practice.
If you want to see fraud in action, you have to go to the inner city neighborhoods. For example you could look at my report on Poll Watching in the 2000 election. If I knew then what I know now, I think a call to the Secretary of State could have gotten the democrat Judge arrested.
I will volunteer in 2010 to be the Alternate Judge in such a precinct. At the same time I am actively recruiting Republicans and conservatives to volunteer, get the training, and serve.
Got a call from a fellow Republican Election Judge who sat by me in the Judge Law class.
They had a suspicious precinct in North Harris County. It is a Republican majority precinct, but, as usual, the entire election staff including the Election Judge were DEMOCRATS in the 2008 presidential election. THIS REPUBLICAN PRECINCT TURNED IN OVER 3000 BALLOTS IN THAT 2008 ELECTION AND OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED FOR OBAMA!
So, on 11/3/09 we had a Republican Election Judge and guess what? The ballot total was 56!!!
What is going on? It appears that the democrat election crew did exactly what I have seen before. They apparently wait uhtil late in the day and start casting a ballot for every voter who did not show up!
THIS IS WHY IT IS CRITICAL TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE REPUBLICAN OFFICIAL IN EVERY PRECINCT!
