Went to an Election Law Class for this past Election cycle, only to be told by one of the Prosecuters at HC (was there to talk about election law fraud)...Wow, 5 whole cases. The one he spoke about was a Foreign Student that came in to vote...thought he could because he had a VISA and demanded to vote so the Election Judge allowed him to Provisional Vote. They are going after this guy...BIG TIME! What a waste of Tax Payers money. Who the hell cares. Seriouly. We know the vote didn't count and that he was just an unknowing schmuck excited to vote. But yeah, he absolutely needs to be deported for this ugly act of....VOTER FRAUD. (Yes I am being snarky!)

He doesn't care what his constituents think.

Since he hasn't had a real challenger (Owens' candidacy was a joke) since he won the seat after the it was Delaymandered he doesn't care what anyone thinks. That is why he is the lead dog of the teabaggers and their far right enablers.

If you hear about a potential challenger, please tell me and I will work for them here in the district.

No, Seriously

The best way to encourage voters down the ticket is to have someone at the top of the ticket running around saying marriage is illegal. I see a Dem sweep in Texas next fall.

Why do we need "vote id?"

I don't know anyone who isn't asked for identification in addition to their voter id card in this state so why are the Republicans so adamant about this?

They lost me a long time ago with regard to illegal immigration. They started all these "immigration reform" groups, most of which seem tied to that idiot Roy Beck and NumbersUSA which is just a cover for his, and their, xenophobia, and suddenly all the Republicans in Congress came up with this term "guest workers" to use when talking about illegal immigrants. We have a law. It was never enforced. It was never enforced because of the Republicans. They like their cheap labor. They just don't want to provide the same rights to "guest workers" that everyone else has under the law. What it comes down to.

As for registering dead people and Mickey Mouse, registering them doesn't mean they will be able to vote.

The real problem is the number of real people who are alive who are registered to vote who don't vote. Which is why we have so many pieces of deadwood in both parties in public office. They win by default. Not by the voice of the people.

Silly is an understatement...

The subsection serves one purpose. It bans civil unions.

There is something about V&E attorneys. My favorite is the Ouija Board Lady. The one who billed for telephone consultations with someone during the MUNY scandal, interesting that V&E always seems to be involved in the financial scandals, which in itself is not scandalous except for the fact that the person she billed had been dead for two years.

She lost my vote with this. Aparently you can take the girl out of V&E but you can't take V&E out of the girl.

She will have to come up with something else to get my vote back.

One thing she might become more proactive about is the appalling approach to domestic abuse/violence, sexual assault, and stalking in this state.

We need more prosecution of our laws. Not more education. And certainly not more "titty bar taxes" that she would have to defend.

One example of the state of things is the "stalking information" website that UT maintains which no doubt garnered a big chunk of VAWA funding to allow them to fully research and establish an information base for stalking victims and advocates.

It might help if they had the actual law posted. The one they have posted is the old law that the legislature changed in 2001. So much for their "constantly updated information." Maybe someone from the UT Psychology Department will read this and finally "take the hint."
