Houston Registrar falsely claims rampant voter fraud

(Oct, 2008) In a local news special investigation, Harris County Tax Collector (and Voter Registrar) Paul Bettencourt (R) is claiming wide-spread "voter-fraud" to disenfranchise HUNDREDS (perhaps THOUSANDS) of newly registered voters that the investigation finds are mostly all eligible (and Democrat).

Sounds like some illegal immigrants are getting pushed on the ballot by the Demoncrats.

@jeffmonc2 Yes, you are correct. Bettencourt *does* make it sound like "a bunch of illegal immigrants are getting pushed on the ballot by the Democrats." Problem is, they weren't. It was all a lie. But that doesn't stop "Republitards" like Bettencourt from making false claims.

And here we are 2 years later and they just caught SIEU employee fraudulently registering over 23,000 people !!!! ...... how about that Mark ? ..... what a leftist douche

from Harris counties new registrar Leo Vasquez

@urdaddy4321 A bit more info is needed here. A single person, not the SEIU itself, a "Mr. Steve Caddle", was a former Colorado SEIU member (not employee) from 2005-2007. SEIU does NOT give any money to Houston Votes or "True the Vote", the organizations listed in conjunction with this allegation.

@BI30 and yeah I'm sure that its just a freaky coincidence that yet again some associated with SEIU, which was deeply associated with ACORN, which has been caught doing this exact same thing over 2 dozen times in over a dozen states.

How's the sand you have your head burried in BI30 ?

@urdaddy4321 I posted a Special Edition report on this non-story on my blog. You should check it out.

Worthy of mention: 25,000 - 7,193 does not equal 23,000.

If you read some of the nasty, racist comments I deny, you wouldn't ask that question. - Mugsy of BI30.

Whats up here? Censoring comments? Are you a Republican? Bettencourt belongs in JAIL! Typpical Rovian fascist tricks. This country is gone! People don't care that these assholes steal elections. Watch. with Obama a solid TEN POINTS ahead in the Poll of Polls. mccain will win. And America will grumble a little and stick their fucking heads back in the sand.
