Thread: Illegal Voter Scheme to “Turn Texas Blue” (BREAKING VIDEO)

Illegal Voter Scheme to “Turn Texas Blue” (BREAKING VIDEO)

By Steve Straub On February 19, 2014 · 44 Comments · In Uncategorized



Wait, I thought voter fraud was a myth perpetuated by evil, racist conservatives as a reason to restrict voting rights?

In a recent Veritas Visuals video a Battleground Texas volunteer talks about forging signatures on official voting documents (which is voter fraud) nonchalantly saying, “It happens all the time.”

She’s right it, it does. And this latest video proves it.

Battleground Texas Field Organizer Jennifer Longoria was caught on camera multiple times making statements such as, “So every time we register someone to vote we keep their name and number.”

Doing so however, is illegal. According to the Secretary of State, it is unlawful to transcribe, copy, or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a voter registration application.

And if they can get Texans to vote, Longoria says, they can “change the elections pretty drastically.”

Breaking The Rules To Turn Texas Blue

February 20, 2014 by Ben Bullard

Project Veritas, the conservative nonprofit founded by controversial one-man media army James O’Keefe, has had its troubles over the years. But O’Keefe’s latest video seems to suggest that the Democratic “Battleground Texas” political action committee is stretching the law in order to track and influence the new voters its field representatives are signing up.



At the :50 mark, Battleground Texas field organizer Jennifer Longoria describes what she and other activists do with the personal information they take down whenever they persuade someone to register to vote. If the video can be believed, it’s against Texas voting laws.

Longoria: So every time we register somebody to vote, we keep their name, number…
Investigator: And that’s from the voter registration form?
Longoria: Right from the form. That data collection is the key.

Key to what? Staying in touch with the people they’ve registered in order to promote the gubernatorial campaign of State Senator Wendy Davis, as the video makes clear.
Texas law prohibits the “registrar” — that is, the person registering another as a voter — from keeping that information for any use other than the maintenance of voting lists within the Secretary of State’s office. It’s illegal to “transcribe, copy, or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a registration application,” under the State’s election code.
Here’s the relevant part:

Sec. 13.004. RECORDING AND DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REGISTRAR. (a) The registrar may not transcribe, copy, or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a registration application.
(b) The registrar may transcribe, copy, or otherwise record a social security number furnished on a registration application only in maintaining the accuracy of the registration records.
(c) The following information furnished on a registration application is confidential and does not constitute public information for purposes of Chapter 552, Government Code:
(1) a social security number;
(2) a Texas driver’s license number;
(3) a number of a personal identification card issued by the Department of Public Safety;
(4) an indication that an applicant is interested in working as an election judge; or
(5) the residence address of the applicant, if the applicant is a federal judge or state judge, as defined by Section 13.0021, or the spouse of a federal judge or state judge, and included an affidavit with the registration application under Section 13.0021 or the registrar has received an affidavit submitted under Section 15.0215.
(c-1) The registrar shall ensure that the information listed in Subsection (c) is excluded from disclosure.
(d) The voter registrar or other county official who has access to the information furnished on a registration application may not post the following information on a website:
(1) a telephone number;
(2) a social security number;
(3) a driver’s license number or a number of a personal identification card;
(4) a date of birth; or
(5) the residence address of a voter who is a federal judge or state judge, as defined by Section 13.0021, or the spouse of a federal judge or state judge, if the voter included an affidavit with the application under Section 13.0021 or the registrar has received an affidavit submitted under Section 15.0215.

Battleground Texas attempts to dodge investigation, legal ramifications
FEB 26, 2014



Battleground Texas is attempting to dodge a statewide investigation and potential legal action after Project Veritas released an undercover investigation showing Battleground Texas illegally copying phone numbers off of voter registration forms.

“The video speaks for itself. The beauty of video is actions are undeniable and clear for everyone to see,” said James O’Keefe. “Moreover, the Secretary of State has made it clear stating the “law applies to volunteer deputy registrars.”
The attorney for Battleground Texas is arguing that Texas law forbidding registrations officials from “transcribing, copying or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a registration application” doesn’t apply to volunteer deputy registrars of which Battleground Texas is using.

An official investigation has been opened by the Bexar County DA’s office, who said “she was looking at “possible penal implications,” including charges of abuse of official capacity or even misuse of official information — a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.”

Perhaps Obama and Holder will pardon them on the way out.
