Massive Voter Registration Fraud Uncovered in Harris County Texas
The Harris County Texas Voter Registrar is calling into question upwards of 5,000 fraudulent voter registrations submitted by the group Houston Votes.
"The integrity of the voter role of Harris County Texas appears to be under an organized and systematic attack by the group operating under the name Houston Votes," Vasquez said.
Vasquez said some of the problems include multiple applications for the same person, applications for people already registered, incomplete applications, applications from non-U.S. citizens and several from people too young to vote.
"We have evidence indicating violation of the Texas Election Code, falsified documents being submitted to this office and possible violations of federal election laws," said Vasquez.
Another local group also highlighted the issues with the group and the thousands of fraudulent voter registrations that have been submitted in Harris County. In a TV news report, they showed a vacant lot which according to county voter registration rolls has 6 active voters residing there. The case has been referred to the Harris County District Attorney and Texas Secretary of State.
This report comes at the same time when 10,000 voting machines (all of the machines for the county) were destroyed in what is being called a suspicious fire in the warehouse where they were being stored.
In response to the massive loss of the voting equptment the Harris County Clerk had the following statement:
Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman this morning said she is confident of timely, clean elections in November, even as a fire that destroyed the county's entire inventory of 10,000 electronic voting machines still burned.
Kaufman urged voters to cast their ballots early to help the county cope with a possible shortage of equipment on election day.
"Because I don't expect to have 10,000 pieces to work with, no matter what we do, I'm sure that we're going to be putting on a full court press urging people to vote early," Kaufman said.
