Kaufman (TX) County Election Scandal

http://www.ntimc.org/newswire.php?story_id=1678

For the past three years the 50-year-old Texas native studied up for the position of County Commissioner by going to meetings. And she recruited the outgoing Commissioner, Ivan Johnson, to be her campaign manager. In the Democratic primary, she won handily. And right up to ten o'clock on election night, she felt pretty good about her chances. That's about the time she says she left Democratic Party headquarters in the town of Kaufman to return home to Terrell. With virtually all nine voting boxes counted, she was about 200 votes ahead.

"Y'all better get back over here," is what Tony Crow told Ivan Johnson over the telephone not too long after ten o'clock. "They're about to steal the election away from Brenda." Johnson was watching the phone at the Denson-Prince campaign headquarters in Terrell. So Johnson called Denson-Prince, they hopped in their cars, and sometime between 10:30 and 11:00 that night, they walked through the back door of the Kaufman County courthouse annex, where the votes had been counted.



"Deja-Vote," hollered the headline in Wednesday morning's Kaufman Herald. "A computer software glitch is being blamed for controversy that occurred Tuesday night as ballots were being counted by Kaufman County election officials," began the story.

"The problem occurred when data taken from one counting machine to another computer for collating became corrupted. The data roughly doubled the amount of votes counted for several precincts, according to Kaufman County information technology director George York." A two-column photo of York showed him testing a ballot-counting machine on Wednesday morning.

of states. The fix was in, the fraud and theft happened, and someone needs to go to do time.

It's like they have a playbook of dozens of scams and ran as many of them in as many precincts as they could. 'Cause otherwise, even with stealing Ohio (and more?), they would have lost the popular vote...again...and still gotten an *.

"Political capital", my ass. Kerry won.

I knew it was a frame up!

How can so many of them be such lier's?

One word sums that up: BULLSHIT

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

and, yeah, those erasers?

I think they are ethically challenged. It's just impossible for them to consider that they might lose, and so they'll do anything.

This "erasers" story is ludicrous. I hope the Democrats in that region slam that pronto. I also hope the students engage in protest, because it's becoming quite clear that the youth of this country are being increasingly marginalized, also. Perhaps this is the Repub way of ensuring another generation of apathetic voters.

I posted the story earlier. This is the most blatant kind of election theft. In Texas, the Republicans are absolutely shamless.

News clips reference Terrell Tribune not Kaufman Herald. First reference to Crow is Terry not Tony. Corrections made at Texas Civil Rights Review. Read the background docs & clips for yourself in pdf format at texascivilrightsreview.org/phpnuke --gmoses

"The problem occurred when data taken from one counting machine to another computer for collating became corrupted." "Denson-Prince caught the words "glitch" and "disk." - sneaker net, then, was it?

Anyone organising a central repository for all this nation-wide, all-race evidence?

:grr:

They are just criminals stealing elections left and right.
Democrats must fight back or lose forever more.
