Hundreds of area voters might have registrations canceled

(central Texas area)


TEAM database at work purging potentially eligible voters. We'll see how bad a match they've done in March.

Sonia

The SOS hands all the blame to Travis county when their TEAM database has been widely reported as having serious flaws with both implementation and security. The State Auditor's office recently did an audit of the database and the security of the information was the key issue in the findings.


:grr:

Sonia

There is one thing they are forgetting. The computers in the county voters registers office. When they delete the record of a voter.
They think they have covered up their trails. And covered their rear ends. ???
Not true.
When ever you delete a file. It's not really " completely deleted ".
You can take that hard drive. And recover the information on a file. That has been deleted. Say. By mistake. The file is still there and it can be recovered.
The FBI does this all the time.
You may be P/O.
When I found out that my name had been purged from the voter's record.
I was hot.
But now. I'm laughing like hell.
All this is telling me is. Some body is going to have to go to jail. A lot of people are going to go to jail.
It's to big now. They can't hide it. They would have to burn ever court house in Texas to destroy all of the evidence.
This means that the evidence need for convicting some one for voter fraud is still there on these hard drive.
They can say.
" May be they did ".
They can say.
" May be they didn't ".
But one thing they can't say is. " There is no way that we can find out ".
There are ways.
They clam that they are deleting names to prevent voter fraud.
But. They are deleting names to commit voter fraud.
Just like a coin that has two faces.
Like a two way street. It was written in just such a way.
That it can be used in both ways.
This law has no over sight. No checks and balances.
No Avenue of readdress.
This laws has a double standard built in to it.
The people that use it simple fail to play fair.
They are using this law to violate the rights voters.
I find it hard to believe that in the hole state of Texas. For the past twenty years. Their hasn't been one case of voter fraud to be had.
There is you red flag. Some thing is very wrong in Texas.
Texas is a blue state. 75% Blue.
This is why no one could believe it when Bush won the election for governor.
We knew that some thing was wrong.
We just couldn't put our finger on it.
We haven't won an election in twenty years. And this is why.
Their doing this in every state in America. And no body's talking about.
Tell every body.

TEAM Voter Database Purges Hundreds of Area Voters
by: sonia
Thu Jan 17, 2008

A news report from the Austin American Statesman today focuses on a potentially serious problem with purges of eligible voters from the Texas centralized voter database called TEAM. The Texas Election Administration Management (TEAM) system was one of the provisions of the Help American Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. Each state was required to implement a computerized, centralized statewide voter registration system.

The Statesman article, gives one example of how the TEAM system may not be working correctly.

-------------------
Please go hit recommend on that if you have a chance.

This is where the SOS and the state need to focus their resources. There are many serious issues impacting voters today including this poorly functioning database and how provisional ballots are not counted. Yet all the griping you hear from the Lege is focused on voter ID. A solution for a problem that is not impacting elections at all.

Thanks

Sonia

:grr: and a bit angry and frustrated as well. Thanks for the update, sonias!

edit to say " There oughta be a law!" !:think: Oh yeah, there is!

It oughta be enforced! Oh yeah, guess who would enforce it! :eyes:

These voter suppression tactics better get reversed. It's going to take us years to rebuild DOJ to the level of voter protection it used to be.

:hi:

Sonia

we get the DOJ back up to snuff as a priority.
:hi:

Dear: Sonias and Marty Toohey of AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Well, Well, Bright Eyes. How long did it take you to figure this one out.
What do you mean the elections in Texas are rigged?
Sure. It's true. The elections are rigged in Texas.
The question is not. " Are the elections in Texas rigged".
The question is. " How are the elections in Texas rigged "?
And the answer to that question is.
The Voter's Right Act of 1994 . Sponsored be the Republicans party in the Texas state legislators. It passed and has been amended several times over the years.
You can go to the The official sited of the state of Texas and read about it like I did.
Found under election laws and voting laws. It's right there in black and white. For all to read.
What they tell you about in this law is that they have a right ti purge you name from the registers voter list. If you are no longer eligible to vote. Like you no longer live in that county.
They state that they have a whistleblowers hot line. A Phone number that any one can call and report to the board of elections any ones name of a person that no longer lives in that county.
Here is what they are not telling you about and how it's done.
In 1994. The State Texas went from paper records to electronic record keeping.
When they purge your name from the voter list. They deleted you name your past voting record. They deleted every thing. When they delate your record. They are destroying public records. It's illegal to destroy public records.
They can remove your name from the eligible voters list. But they can not destroy public records.
If you chose to challenge their decision to remove your name from the voter register list.
Because they have destroyed the evidence. You can not challenge the in a court of law. Criminal or civil law.
What they don't want you to know about is. Under the whistleblowers laws. They can remove your name on the assumptions. That you no longer live in the county.
How so?
If you are sent a summons from the court to appear for jury duty. And you do not respond to that summons. The clerks at the court house can assume that you no longer live in that county.
The same list that they use at the board of electrons to see if you are registered to vote.
Is the same list that the clerk used at the county court house to get names from. To send out summons to appear for jury duty.
The list is marked if you are a Democrat or a Republican.
The clerk is cherry picking the names that will get summons to appear for jury duty.
Only Democrats are being sent summons to appear.
I saw on the news a few months back. Where a Texas county judge stated that only 80% of the people that are sent summons. Are responding to the summons.
This tells me that 80% of the registered Democrats in Texas have had their voting record destroyed. They will not be allowed to vote in 2008. Republicans win again.
But what they don't tell you is the fact that because they have destroy the evidence.
They can purge any ones name off the voters list. At will. Ever how many names they need to purge to win. Is how many names that will remove from the registered voter's list.
Democrats will never win another election till this problem is fixed.
How do I know about all of this?
Back in 2004. I went down to the county board of electron and asked for a absentee ballot. The clerk told me that They couldn't give me a absentee ballot because I was not a registered voter.
When I asked them to show me my records. They told me that They don't have any records on me.
I told them "That's imposable". I live in Taylor county. I'm registered to vote in Taylor county. I have voted for many years in Taylor county.
I asked to see their records. They turned the monitor of the computer around so that I could see them. They pointed to the place where my name should be. It wasn't there.
But I looked across the screen to the others side of the page
On the same line that had other peoples names. There was a column This column had "R" And "D" in it. " R " for Republican And "D" for Democrats.
They do this in order to know who is eligible to vote in the primary elections.
Taylor county is 80% Democrats And 20% Republican.
The column that designate whether you are a registered Republican or Democrat.
80% of them had "R"
And 20% of them where "D".
This is what Tipped me off. That some thing was wrong. Way wrong.
I asked to see the paper records.
They told me that there are no paper records. The only record they have is on their computers. Once they delete your record. Every thing is destroyed. There is no back up of past records. Every thing is gone.
The clerk told me that It was to late to register to vote in the 2004 elections.
The clerk told me that if I wanted to vote in the 2008 elections. I would have to reregister to get my name back on the voter's list.
With that she handed me a form to reregister.
I handed Her the form back. And told her that the laws only requires you to register once. Once is enough.
For this reason. My right to vote is protected under the U.S, Constitution. Under the freedom of speech clause. My vote is my voice.
My right are not a tread mill to where the Government can make you jump through loops and run through some kind of obstacle course to stay on the tread mill of the registered voters list.
The Government can not pass laws that gives them the right. To knock you off the tread mill faster than you can get back on it again.
There are no half right. There are only hole right. Either you have them or you don't
When it comes to your right. Their are no gray areas.
It is a felony to destroy public records. Why. Public records are our records. There not your records. You can't destroy the public voting records for the same reason you can't go in to the public records and destroy the deeds to our property. You birth certificate., Our marriage license. The taxes that you pay. Your driver license.
Destroying public records is a felony. 25 years in jail.
Destroying public records in order to commit voter fraud.
Voter fraud is a felony. 25 years in jail
committing voter fraud in order to commit election fraud. That's another 25 years in jail

Destroying evidence in a felony case. Is another 25 years in jail.
If they are using their computer transfer information. That's mail fraud. 25 years in the jail.
But if the clerk tells the Federal Judge that the laws of Texas state the she has the right to destroy public records.
There are no laws in Texas that gives any one person the right to destroy some one else's voter public voters records. In order to commit voter fraud.
To the list we now can add perjury and obstruction of justice. 50 years in the jail
They are looking at 200 years in the jail for ever person who's voting records they destroyed. How many people have they did this to ? Many. 200,000,000 years in jail.
But to this if you add the fact that the laws of Texas do not allow any one person or group of people to commit voter fraud. And violate the right of another person In Texas..
When ever people working for the State Government do some thing like this. What they usually say is. " The laws of Texas said it was OK. This is why they did it".
In turn what the State of Texas will say is. " any one person or group of people while action as part of the Government of Texas. If they are using the state laws to commit voter fraud. They will go to jail. The state of Texas washes it's hands of any damage done to any person due to their actions that are not part of their job in these post. It is not part of their job as part of the State Government of the State of Texas. To commit voter fraud. Their actions are their own. And not Texas's.
Any person or persons that committed a criminal act While working as a representing of the state of Texas. Is held personally responsible for their own actions.
And in civil court of law. If a person violates another person civil right. While acting as part of the government. They loose their immunity from any laws suit that arises out of their action. They can not make up their own laws as they go a long.
There are no laws on the books in Texas that state that Voter fraud is legal.
The person or persons who's rights that they have violated. Is entitled to $10,000 for each act that they commit.
How many people did they do this to in Texas? Many. $1,000,000,000,000,.
This is how they got Bush elected as Governor of Texas.
This is what they did in Florida to get Busk elected a president. in 2000.
It's what they did in Ohio to get him elected as president in 2004.
And this is what they are going to do 2008.
Well. This Voters Right Act is working out so good. That every state in the union is using it now.
Because the whistleblowers hot line is based on some kind of assumption that you no longer live in the county. Any thing that would lead a person to believe that you no longer live in that county based on assumption. Can be used by any one working in the government or working out side the government to call in and make a complaint.
And because they destroy all of a persons voting record. They now can delete at will with no fear of any recourse.
Any letter from the courts. Jury duty. Unplayed tickets. Late on taxes. Didn't pay the power, water,or gas bill. Late on rent. Late on child support payments.
Didn't mow the lawn this week. Got laid off from work. Spent two weeks in jail. Junk mail left in your mail box. News papers laying in your back yard. Turning off your light at night to save on the electric bill. Gone out of town for two weeks.
Didn't go to church this week.
If some body dies. And they see their name in the news paper. Every body that has the same name as the person that died. Gets deleted.
And if it looks like after all of this it looks like it's going to be a close election.
One week before the cut off for person who find out at the last minute that their names was deleted Or after the time line or cut off time has pasted for re registering.
They will delete your name. They win against all odds. First time every time.
But this just the tip of the ice berg of what all they are doing.
Going in to 2008 elections. This story should be the number one story on the main stream media. Where are they at?
Corporate main stream media? Would they report on a story like this. No.
They have rigged the electrons. Got control of our Government. Rigged the courts and judges. County, State and Federal. The Judges will not allow any court cases on voter fraud to proceed forward. They are stoped at the court house front door. Dismissed for lack of evidence. Purity slick.
Because their are no cases of voter fraud in the courts. This must mean that no one has commit voter fraud. Right?
They have violated the oath of office. Abolished or suspends. The U.S Constitution. A long with any and all inalienable rights.
Rigged the elections.
Cut off, abolished or suspends any and all avenues of readdress.
Gained control of the corporate main stream. They will not report on any thing that our Government is doing that is illegal.
Would our Government do some thing like this. Sure.
Do the math.
300 million people live in America. 50 million voted For Democrats. 50 Million Voted for Republicans. 200 million people didn't vote. Why. Well now you know. They couldn't vote.
But if they have this much power over elections. Why aren't the election a land slide. The Republican all ways win by a hair? Why. If they have this much power over the electrons. They can win by a hair. First time every time.
If they win by a land slide. Right a way you would know that some thing is wrong.
But if they win by a hair. It looks like a fair electron.
If they let the Democrats win in some stated and let the republicans win in other stated.
All they need to do is rig the electron in one state to win the hole electron. Like Florida and Ohio. See how it works. Win by a hair.
But in order for them to do some thing like this. They would have to have a lot of control over the electron process.
If they have control over the main stream media. The courts and the Government. And they do. They can just keep on doing it for every. And they have.
I guess that I'm the only one that is standing up and speaking the truth about the rigging of the elections in America.
Why. Oh Why would any one at this late date and time stand up and speak out the truth. Against all odd. I know what in the end. The natural course of events will be.
History repeats it's self.
When our Government suspends the law of the land. And all avenues of readdress are cut off. It,s no longer our Government. It is no longer America.
There are no laws on the books. Nor will there every be any laws on the books that states that the people of America do not have a right to restore their Government to it original state. By any means that we deem fit.
This is the law of the land. This is the unwritten law that can not be taken a way from Americans. They know it. And I know it. It is one of those unwritten laws that is understood by all.
They took my name off the registered voters list. They can put it back on again.
And while they are at it. They can put every body's else name back on again. And send out notices that their name is back on the list.
And if they don't. Their is going to be trouble.
It's Revolution time.
And we are a army of 300 million strong. There's not going to be much of a fight.
And the people that are rigging the elections here in America? They stand to loose it all.
There is talk on the streets here in Texas.
There is talk in the streets all across America.
Once you know what the truth is. Their lies no longer have an effect on you.
Just this week. A man showed up at the front door of the Capital. With a shotgun in his hand. What are they going to do when 300 million men show up at the Capital's front door with a shotgun in their hands?
America is not that far a way from an event like this.
It's not looking very good for some people.

It took me a while to read your post. You obviously had a lot to get off your chest.

Hang in there Larry - we're taking our country back.

Sonia

So you say that we are taking back our country? You may be right.
I herd today the Dennis Kucinich dropped out of the race.
And now I here that Las Vegas is burning to the ground.
Or was it. America is burning to the ground. I can't remember.
And no body knows why?
And now Bright Eyes tells me that we are taking back America.
Tell me true. How did you figure this one out so fast?
This may turn out to be the most interesting election yet.
I can't wait to set at home and watch it all on T.V.
Dennis did not lose. He is going to win big.

Once again, don't be caught off guard. Check your voter registration. For Travis you can go here - Voter Verification

Other voters across the state if your county does not provide a similar service, you can do a search at the Secretary of State's web site too.

This is the actual TEAM database live.
Am I Registered?

Sonia

You may have your pick for the next president, but when you show up to vote in Travis County for the March presidential primary, you may not be able to cast your ballot.

It was on last night's 6:00 p.m. news.

This next primary election may be a mess. But to be fair the SOS is the biggest part of the problem. And just coincidentally the Texas Legislature is holding a hearing on voter ID tomorrow. But they are going to talk about the TEAM database too. Check in if you want, it will be streamed. Starts at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Hearing will be broadcast here.

Sonia

That is why they are spending MILLIONS to stop the 22 cases (yes 22 cases) the AG has handled on voter fraud, in the last EIGHT years!

Millions.

Instead of spending millions on a verifiable paper trail.

Those are my ancestors you're flaming!

You should have seen/heard the hearing today. We were the most prepared. If it was a debate we clearly won. Anchia's office had maps even. Just to show far some of the DPS offices were from the main loops/roads in the large urban counties.

We had the best experts on our side
David Becker, Senior Litigation Counsel, People for the American Way
Tova Wang, Democracy Fellow, The Century Foundation
Justin Levitt, Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law
Dr. Toby Moore, Project Manager, Center for Democracy and Election Management, American University

You can watch the archive of the fireworks if you have 9 hours to kill here.

Sonia

The panel of experts are at about 3:25 into the hearing. If you watch nothing else that 30-45 minutes is worth the whole hearing.

Sonia

This is the very same thing that the Republicans were saying back in 1994.
This was when the Democrats were in power.
So the Demarcates allow the Republican to sponsored a bill to stop the so called " voter fraud ".
It was called the " Voters Right Act of 1994.
Every since that bill became law.
The Democrats haven't won an election since.
Say. Do you think that's why we haven't been able to win any electrons for the past 15 years.
When Texas is a blue state.
About 80% of Texan were registered as Democrats back in I994.
And now only 20% of the 80% of the Democrats that were registered back in 1994.
Are still on the registers voters list.
Their not registered as Republican either,
Where did they all go????????
What's wrong with this picture?????
Think about it????????
Their doing the some thing in all of the other states now.
We are going to be blinded sided and stabbed in the back again in the 2008 election.
May be some one should warn all the other states about this problem we have here in Texas.

The state has to spend millions of dollars on legal fees.
When ever they pass a law. That has a legal loop hole in it that allows the state the power. ( not the right ) To do some thing that is highly illegal.
They will spend the tax's payers money to denies him the right to vote.
And why would they. It's your money that they are spending.
They will spend money like drunken sailors Because money to them is no problem.
It's not their money that they are spending. It's your money.
Who are they spending it on? Their selves.
In fact. They more voters that they nock off the voter's registration list tread mill.
The more money they make.
Only up to a point.
What has to happen is to get it out of the stat courts.
And move your case into a Federal Court. Under a constitutional question.
Your right to vote is paramount over the states right to bar you from voting.
All it takes is one case to make it though the Federal Courts.
The law is found to be unconstitutional.
And a order is issued to strike the law from the books. All of it.
Even the funding of legal fees to defend the law.
You can even ask the Federal judge to order the lawyers. Who were defending the law to pay Texas back all the money that they have spent.
Why? They are lawyers. They can't clam ignorant of the law. They are lawyers.
When ever they move to defend a law that is unconstitutional. They are aiding and abating the State in it's illegal activity.
They can lose their right to practice law in Texas.
They may have to do some jail time.
The same is true for State Judges.
Judges that violate their oath of office. By obstructing, prolonging, delaying, or denying a person rights to vote.
Can be Judges no more. It's the law of the land.
Your right's as an individual is paramount over any Judges clam to sit in that seat.
And if the State of Texas does not.
You can ask the Federal Judge to find the State of Texas in contempt of court.
And if they still don't comply.
People start going to jail. Right a way.
It is a long legal process to bar a person from voting.
The people down there at the court house can not act as judge jury and executioner.
And keep you from voting.
If they do. They are impersonating a offerer of the courts.
A Judge.
Any time a real Judge finds out that some one else has taken on the roll that only Judges are allow. That person is going to go to jail for a long time.
Now why is that?
Any time that Federal Judge finds out that county clerk is short cutting due process of laws by preferring the duties of a judge. When they are not a judge.
There is this little known law that states. That any time that it is borough to the attention that their is some one imprisoning a judge.
And if he doesn't act on it right a way on it.
You can report it to the Federal judiciary Review Board.
Where all complaints are reviewed.
By the time that they get there.
If that Judge has not moved to correct this problem
He loses his privilege to sit in that seat.
Think of it this way.
Is a Federal Judge going to give up his sit so that a county clerk can purge you off the registers list.
I don't think so.
When ever Federal Judges are being de benched. Left and right.
This is when the purging of voters stops.
Even a U.S. Supreme Court Judge can be de benched for violating his oath of office.
Any time that a case like this makes it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Every Judge that rest between him and this county clerk. Will be judge no more.
Ant time that a person purges your name off the register voters list.
They are taking a way one of your Freedoms.
Any time the State moves or a person acting as a representative of the state.
There has to be a trail. Before a real Judge.
And all of your right under the rules of civil procedures. Have to be present and in full force. There are no half right.
They can't take you off the voter list. If you never go before a Judge.
Not even judge can bar you from voting.
If he does. He can be Judge no more.
Most people don't under stand what all it takes to purge a voter from the voters list.
If you live in a county. And you are registered to vote.
And you find out that some one has removed you from the list.
Some body has to go to jail. Some body has violated the law.
Your right to vote that is protected under the U.S. Constitution.
Regardless of any law that Texas has passed.
Your right do not evaporate over time.
The law only requires you to register once to vote.
Once is enough.
If it is Fifty years since the last time that you voted.
The next time that you go to vote. If your name is not on that list.
Some body has to go to jail.
Any Judge in Texas that is hearing one of those 22 cases that are before the courts.
Needs to move "expediently " to strike the " Voters Right Act " from the books.
