Texas poll watchers faced with harassment by Desperate Dems

Just when you thought the sharks had gone back into the water they are circling again. The Dems along with their corrupt minions and thugs apparently didn’t feel the small shark species were enough this time and have brought out the tiger, great whites and bull sharks. In Harris County, Texas (Houston)

Liberty Pundits is reporting:

In one instance, three poll watchers were yelled at by a Democrat Harris County Commissioner El Franco Lee who said,”Why are you here? We have never had poll watchers here. Ya’ll need to get on out of here.”

I did speak with Joe Kulhavy of the Texas Secretary of State/Elections Division who pointed me to the State of Texas Poll Watcher Guide. So DEMS, how about reading it, it IS allowed. I did question Mr. Kulhavy as to whether or not he had heard any reports of polling place “drama” in Harris County and he stated “oh, a little bit here and there on the local stations.” When I asked Mr. Kulhavy if he was aware this story had now made national headlines (viewers of Sean Hannity’s radio show are reporting this) he was “unaware.” OK TEXAS, isn’t it YOUR JOB to be overseeing this stuff? And if there are these kinds of reports to investigate them?

Reports have been surfacing all day about drama coming out of Harris County Texas (Houston area) where Dems have accused and filed a lawsuit claiming voter intimidation by poll watchers trained by the local non-partisan group King Street Patriots. Catherine Engelbrecht is the founder of KSP and her True The Vote campaign, and according to this statement on their website:

True the Vote exists to protect the right to vote and the integrity of the election process. Claims by partisan operatives and bloggers with an agenda that voter intimidation was conducted by True the Vote are false and libelous, and they should be retracted immediately. True the Vote has never, and will never, condone or promote voter intimidation at a polling place.

Sounds right, Catherine. Especially since you and your group uncovered an SEIU corruption plot where one former SEIU member in Texas registered 23,207 fraudulent voters in Harris County alone. According to the Houston Chronicle a Harris County attorney, Vince Ryan is investigating the Dems’ complaints of “possible” voter intimidation in primarily minority neighborhoods. This is his statement:

“Keep in mind these are allegations [emphasis mine] of voter intimidation,” O’Rourke said. “It’s sometimes in the eye of the beholder.”

Yea, I can just envision a bunch of non-partisan little old lady poll watchers, DEMS, screaming, pushing and shoving voters via the “SEIU/Chicago Way.” Doubt if they’ve taken an act from your playbook.

In this same article Hiram Sasser, an attorney for the King Street Patriots, denied the group was intimidating voters

We may be just hitting the tip of the iceberg here, folks. This could be an advance movement on the assault of our election integrity process, i.e. a “dry run” to scope out reaction before moving on to other polling places not unlike the terrorists who planned the 9/11 assaults.

One can audibly hear the screechings and “nails scraping down the chalkboard” of the Doomed Dems kicking and clawing in any means they feel fit to steal this election at any expense.

Vigilance by all is needed in what could be historically called, another nail-biter election. Take your cameras to the polls, folks.

Ironically, Harris County has been in the news lately for a suspicious fire which torched the majority of their voting machines. And yea, Harris County House District 133 Rep. Kristin Thibuat has connections to ACORN.

Who would have thought.

    Yes, I am going there. This need maximum publicity.

    Folks, this is the trial run for a full blown vote stealing effort this elections. LUR has been warning about this for months.

    We let the Germans try out their war plans in 1936 – and we know the result.

    If we push back hard with all we got, the left may have some second thoughts – since they had to advance their plans from 2012 to 2010, they don’t quite all their forces fully equipped.

    But if they clear out our infantry, it will be blitzkrieg time come Nov 2.

    Texas lawyers – time to squash the Dems in court; locals – time for reinforcements

    And we need publicity, TV crews interviewing tearful seniors being pushed around and threatened, and so one. Turn the bathos against the left, instead of the other way.

    Great reporting here.

    The fire that destroyed the voting machines plus the fradulent registrations? Well (Leroy) Gibbs’ rule is starting to seem mighty reasonable: there are no coincidences. Thanks for the warning about the incident. This cactus is slated to do alternate judging in one of these precincts. Emergency call for 1400 PWs and AJs, so far only about 1000 have volunteered. We are all getting prepared. About 5 million population in Harris County and out of that about 2 million voters. Can you imagine the potential for mischief if they all have to vote on paper? Bad enough on machines! Guess where the fraudulent registrations were found (whose Congressional district)? Hint: not predominantly Republican ones. The DA is looking into it but the election is coming too soon. But also, a little good news. Early voting this election is breaking records in Harris County – started this week. Anecdotally but heard often, more people are voting straight ticket than ever before. I guess people are really *mad* about something. I wonder what it could be ?!

      True The Vote has contacted DOJ regarding “election irregularities.”

    and I am not talking just of state action. I think there are a few Texans out there that are not likely to be intimidated. I think the action item is for MORE poll watchers, I envision two old school Texans at every polling locale. They can leave the night sticks and dreadlocks at home. Am I wrong to suggest this?

    most will watch election day pretty well.

  • RealQuiet

    Rick Perry and the GOP legislature will be able to draw the lines and Dems are not too keen on this. Not only that, but the EVs will shift as well and this doesn’t bode well for Obama.

    • cactusjack

      We should always keep our eyes on the prize, the Electoral College.
      0′s policies = stagnant, high uncemployment in the US = hundreds of thousands of people & their families moving to Texas for a job the last 19 months* = estimated four new congressional districts to open up in Texas = TX moves from 34 to 38 Electoral College votes in 2012 = blue states lose four votes . This is the simplest kind of irrefutable electoral math that you had better believe is causing some shouting matches in the West Wing inner sanctum.

      *by conservative estimates, about 1000/day.

    “investigative” report on this issue tonight. Will be watching to see how well they conduct their “investigation.”

    …intimidate on the 2nd, for often, it causes officials to back down very quickly. Grease the squeaky wheel quickly.

    Great post, LIO

    Here’s a real eye-opener…..

    SEATTLE (AP) – When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters’ doors, she’s not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally. She knows it’s a risk to advertise to strangers that she’s here illegally

    • renny

      as long as they don’t vote. THEY DON’T BELONG IN THE COUNTRY.

      Did you notice she said she was her to fix “our” immigration.

      It’s not “our” immigration. She belongs in Mexico.

    Training will be a 3pm on both days, Saturday Oct. 23rd & Oct 30th at our TCGOP headquarters. You may attend either trainings.
    The training is necessary to properly fulfill your duties. At the training you will receive the required affidavits to allow you to be present in the polling place.

    The areas we have the greatest need for poll watchers on Election Day, are Democrat areas without a Republican Election judge or Alternate Judge

    volunteer, if at all possible, as a poll watcher.

    Go here: www.truethevote.org

    Scroll down for the video.

    Here in Maricopa County, AZ, we still don’t have enough poll watchers.

    I’m volunteering to go down to Pinal County and help out down there.

    Should be fun.

    Thank you.

    I joined yesterday and really wanted to comment on this. Right after I finished my profile stuff I went back to the main page and this is the first story I saw. It was really spooky because it almost exactly mirrored my recent experience as an election worker in Nueces County. Like the lady in the story I reported the illegal activities to my supervisors, the County Clerk, and the Texas Secretary of State. I doubt anything is being done. Also, in addition to the violations, the behavior of the Democratic poll workers was over the top rude. I have worked several elections, with many of the same folks, and I had never seen anything like it. It was NASTY! I finally just walked out.

    IF ANYONE HAS SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
