No Wonder Sheila Jackson Lee Screamed to DOJ about True the Vote

When your congressional district is infested with irregularities, and you have people documenting them for the first time, scream “voter intimidation” and accuse people of racism.  Shameful behavior.

From Town Hall:

“Engelbrecht’s volunteers ultimately submitted 800 signed affidavits outlining problems they encountered, including having overheard some election judges telling people who they should and should not vote for.  . . .

The group began doing research into the abnormalities in Jackson Lee’s district. They took the first 3,800 registrations of the flagged 19,596 homes with six or more registrants and began to investigate further. The group visited addresses and scoured property tax records. The group found many of the addresses were vacant lots or business addresses. Thirty-nine were registered at businesses and 97 of the addresses were nonexistent. One hundred six of the registrations revealed the same registrant registered more than once, and 207 of the addresses turned out to be vacant lots.’

Maybe DOJ will finally respond to True the Vote’s October 2010 letter describing potential Section 8 violations in Sheila Jackson Lee’s district.  Maybe not.  One thing is for sure, when a Republican Attorney General takes over, serious action will be necessary to fix this abdication of responsibility by current Justice Department employees.
