Voting Hour Shenanigans
I was listening to The Chris Duel Show on KTSA a while ago, and he had on The National General Counsel for LULAC, Luis Vera. They were talking about early voting complaints in the Dist. 23 runoff election. 17 out of 19 counties couldn’t get early voting going this weekend despite a court order allowing it. Election laws require minimum voting hours to be equal to the hours of operation of the county’s election office. Many polls in Dist. 23 are only open from 8am-5pm and closed during lunch hours. A few counties are only open until 4:30pm and also closed during lunch hours. Another interesting fact is that Governor Perry and the SoS, Roger Williams allowed the runoff in Dist. 29 to run until Dec. 19th and the Dist. 23 runoff only until Dec. 12th.
If this concerns you, contact the U.S. Dept. of Justice at 202-514-2000, and ask for the Voting Rights Division.
Bullshit. This is the type of shenanigans that is pulled that is unethical. Just like the gerrymandering that went on a few years ago. What the hell?
Seriously, I think we need to all call and bug the crap out of them. Our rights as registered voters have been violated time and time again…..
