EDINBURG -- With the Tuesday primaries less than a week away, three South Texas campaign workers are accused of harassing elderly voters who requested ballots by mail.

The Monitor newspaper in McAllen reports complaints were filed with Hidalgo County elections officials against three paid campaign workers. The newspaper identified them as Elizabeth Bouleris of Weslaco, Elvira Rios of McAllen and Elvira Martinez of McAllen.

Rios denies any wrongdoing, saying she had always been respectful of elderly voters.

Other South Texas voting irregularities reported so far this year include a request last week of a mail-in ballot for a dead voter. Four people in Hidalgo County said their ballots were already sealed when they received them. A Mercedes voter requested a mail-in ballot that was sent somewhere else.

When the election comes to West Virginia if I find a single Republican trying to disrupt the voting process I will personally take a baseball bat to his or her head. I have never felt so much rage in my life as when watching the Republicans riot to stop the legitimate counting of votes in Florida and I will NEVER forget it nor will I allow it to happen here. I might be old but I can still swing a bat.

that's a little extreme, don't ya think?

I know how he feels.

But I know how he feels. I will also not play nice with anyone trying to cheat the system.
