Texas Watchdog’s investigation into ballots cast in the names of dead Houston voters was in the spotlight on Thursday’s 10 p.m. newscast by KPRC Local 2 Investigates.

Our own Trent Seibert was among those quoted in the Channel 2 report, along with Houstonians Henderson Hill Jr. and Alexis Guidry, both of whom had family members whose identities were used to cast ballots after their deaths.

“This is a red flag. No matter where you are, this should set off alarm bells,” Seibert said. “Someone needs to take a look at this.”

    Can someone define the party affiliation of the fraudulaent registrationgs?

    It’s evident to me what party would benefit from this, which is why that party is not mentioned. If it was the GOP, this would be one of the top stories on the network news tonight! That fact that it’s not tells you all you need to know.

    The left can not win on the war of ideas, so they resort to stealing the election. In the state of Indiana 105% of the population are registered to vote! You have to laugh to keep from crying. Every state in the union needs to vigilantly address the fraud that is going on, not just the battleground states. Congress needs to get the message, NO MORE TAXPAYER FUNDED ACORN!!

    We need a picture voter ID card! For example, in Mexico, all registered voters have a picture ID that is match to a photo ID register at their equivalent polling place. We are Americans and live in the greatest country that has blessed this planet with. We should be setting the example that America\\\’s position in the world demands. This is the kinda of crap you here about in countries with dictatorships.

    It doesn’t matter which party affiliation fraudulent voting or voter registration occurs under. It only matters that it happens. If Republicans benefitted, I want that fixed - that’s not the Grand Old Party I want to be a part of. All I hear from Democrats during elections past is there’s “no widespread evidence of fraud.” That argument falls on its face for 2 reasons.

    1. Why do you need evidence of activity prior to implementing something that will prohibit it? Why not take a *proactive* approach to keeping our voting process as legit as possible.

    2. Oh, hey. I guess this election may show the widespread evidence needed, regardless of who benefitted from it.

    P.S. electronic voting is a complete non-starter. Academic teams have already done an A-to-Z hack of Sequoia (Diebold) voting systems used in many areas.

    It appears that YOUR CONTACT FORM ON YOUR WEBSITE is NOT WORKING !!
    After plugging in the CAPTCHA text and clicking ‘SUBMIT’ the screen just sits there, and does not provide any confirmation of the submission being accepted.

    Please ensure that the form is working, and you might consider your ‘webmaster’ to enhance your form so it does confirm the acceptance of a submission.

    I would like to participate in any efforts in cleaning up the RAMPANT FRAUD occuring in ALL STATES as a direct by-product of BAMA’s TRAINING AGENDA with the criminal venture ‘acorn’ which is receving millions and BILLIONS of taxpayer MONIES !! ALL STATES NEED TO DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE DEFUNDING of acorn, and then DEMAND THAT THEY AND ALL THEIR SPLINTERED SUBSIDIARIES’ EMPLOYEES and past employees (hmmm…bo ??! - YES !!!) be thrown in the slammer !! That should take care of any nov 4th uncertainties !!

    I am a database administrator for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. It appears that you do great work in an attempt to rid voter fraud, but it also appears that most of your efforts are done manually. If there is ever an opportunity, where I can receive a call from you, maybe we can put our heads together and come up with a more graceful and thorough means of purging ‘deceased’ voters, and identifying ‘redundant’ or ‘fictious’ voters. I would provide some volunteer time to the effort.
    Thanks,
    Chuck
