“A victory for voter integrity” in Texas



The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an emergency request by Project Vote affiliate Voting for America to block several election integrity measures enacted by the Texas legislature in 2011 to prevent voter registration fraud.  Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the ruling is “a victory for voter integrity and helps Texas prevent fraud in the voter-registration process.”


 


Abbott’s statement:


 


“The partisan groups that challenged these laws were founded by and affiliated with ACORN – an organization that was notorious for voter-registration fraud. With this ruling, the court rejected these ACORN affiliates’ attempts to circumvent election integrity laws and helped ensure that Texans can have confidence in the integrity of their elections.”

Five More Charged with Absentee Ballot Fraud in Arkansas



Following this month’s earlier guilty pleas in federal court to felony election fraud charges by four Arkansas men, including now-former state representative Hudson Hallum, five more have been charged with absentee ballot fraud during the same 2011 elections:


 


“Five Crittenden County residents were charged Tuesday with using absentee ballots to defraud an election official during three special elections in 2011… Those who were charged Tuesday are: Eric Fontain Cox, Amos Sanders, Lisa Burns, Deshay Lorenzo Parker III and Leroy Grant.”


 


Can a few fraudulent ballots change the outcome of an election?   Ask Hallum – he won the 2011 Democratic primary runoff election by eight votes.
