Youtube ^

The Secretary of State has already asked for a criminal investigation into this clerk's office for the same thing from the last election it administered in July.

Wow, can’t stop a full-blown riot, but sure can stop a poll watcher. Deterioration of respect occurring. You LEOs make not like that, but that is what is happening. Justice must be applied CONSISTENTLY.

Three watchers, including me, Angela and one other, he gave us back
our watcher form, but he said you’re rejected, you’re rejected, and
you’re rejected.”

“His reason was he said current litigation involving poll watching,”
Hormuth said.

State law required Hamilton to write on the form exactly why the
women were disqualified. The forms Hormuth and Smith provided
KXAN show a note written in blue ink stating, “Rejected due to
current litigation involving poll watching.”

Both women said Hamilton handed them the forms and told them
to leave the county building.

Hormuth immediately called the Texas Secretary of State’s Office to
file a complaint. The SOS sent the county an email reminding the
county it’s a criminal act to obstruct a poll watcher.

The crime is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas.

********

We’ll see where this finally goes and what the results are.
