Well if there is ANY VOTER fraud, this could very much result in such an ANGRY BACKLASH that it could be VIOLENT.

Or rather, if the worse happens, it could very well we could very well go from the ballot box to the cartriage box.

I am not sure if the Obama administration realizes how close we are to seeing a rebellion, or if they are well aware of it because they are actively inciting it. I think I would put my money on the latter.

"In one instance, three poll watchers were yelled at by a Democrat Harris County Commissioner ***El Franco Lee ***who said,”Why are you here? We have never had poll watchers here. Ya’ll need to get on out of here.”

So where is the legal and political action against this elected official??

I have thought for quite awhile that we will not get out of this mess without a REAL civil war. Depends on how bad we want freedom. I hope that if these elections are stolen by fraud some of our red state governors will start secession. There won’t be anything to lose by doing so at that time. Widespread reports of voting fraud could certainly start violent reaction before the elections are over.

And what would happen here will make the riots in France look like a Sunday picnic I’m afraid.

I passed the article on to our GOP area leader. Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll have enough extra hands to have dedicated poll watchers.

To the 14 people lodging complaints...

“Did you vote?”

“yes”

“Dis you only vote once, this time?”

“yes” (ding ding ding ding ding)

Very dissapointed in El Franco Lee, he should know better than to pull this type of crap, or at the very least get caught up in it...But he is NOT the real story here...

The fact that we have an effort to put people into these “questionable” voting locations apparently IS being effective, and these “volunteers” should have been prepared for and briefed on the intimidation that would come from the opposition in the first place...

The local “idiot” news services got the story about these poll watchers totally wrong...But why am I not surprised...

More serious in my opinion as an election official...

“Lee then demanded that the polling place judge give him information about the three poll watchers and the presiding judge complied–giving him their private information. The three poll watchers now fear for their safety and wonder what will be done with their personal information which included their phone numbers and home addresses.”

This is illegal, that election judge should be removed immediately from thier job officiating over this early voting location RIGHT FRAPPIN’ NOW!!!

El Franco Lee should be charged with receiving proprietary information and should be charged and prosecuted along side this election judge RIGHT FRACKIN’ NOW!!!

This should not stand!!! I suggest those that live in the Harris County area need to get on the phone with the County Clerks office to get their take on this, then if that doesn’t give you a warm and fuzzy feeling, then call the Harris County DA’s office demanding an immediate investigation, and resolution on this issue RIGHT FRIGGIN’ NOW!!!

Patricia R. Lykos District Attorney 713-755-5800

Jim Leitner First Assistant D A 713-755-5814

Special Prosecutions Bureau 713.755.5840

Time is a wastin’ this is two day into the early voting cycle...This is our chance to rattle the rafters right now...

Guess where my first phone call is going to today???

Pat, I better not get an answering machine...That is a quick way to get into trouble if you do not address this issue right now, and do it publically...Right now!!!

If they are screaming then there is FRAUD or an attempt to defraud in the works! “The lady she protest too much”!

Thanks for posting this. Let me get this straight: the communists harass and intimidate poll watchers and it's the poll watchers that are being sued? This is an important story and sadly a harbinger of what is to come in two weeks.

Video is key to document this sort of crap. The local news always films voters in the polling place on election day, so I assume that it's legal to video the day's events. Something for us to keep in mind and confirm if possible.

BTW, the grammar in the first sentence is atrocious. "... reports voter intimidation in Harris County, Texas (Houston) by volunteer poll watchers trained by King Street Patriots, a local non-partisan group who started the True The Vote campaign." This sentence makes it sound off the bat that the True the Vote poll watchers were intimidating voters.

Exactly, call in the Feds. Make it a big deal that these lady’s were intimidated by an elected public official.

If Texas men had any spine left they would double down on this M’er F’er and make sure that any vote fraud was caught then make the F’er who committed the fraud hurt.

I was raised in Texas and Im ashamed to say that the men in my home state now send old ladies to the front lines instead of getting off their dead asses and taking care of business themselves. I honestly cant believe the day came that I declared Texas men to be limp wristed pussies...

UGH... Whats next? they gonna paint the Alamo pink and turn it into a hair and nail salon? Just disgusting...

Why do you assume they "got it wrong"? Maybe they didn't.

Maybe it's time to stop giving Houston political writers like Julie Mason and Cragg Hines the benefit of the doubt when they put out misinformation.
