“The audit recommended that the Secretary of State’s Office do a better job of matching criminal conviction and death records with the voter list”......DUH! Do ‘ya think?

In Travis County, some people vote early AND often, 2-3 votes per election.
You know, it's not like they are so busy the other 11 months out of the year when elections aren't being run. Seems like a job that could be done in hours using computer data.
That’s beautiful!!! I have to save that and pass it on!!!
