Officially Sanctioned Racism: Texas Style!

An investigation by the Texas Attorney general into voter fraud has revealed alot of useful information, none of it related to voter fraud. The revealing information has to do with the partisan and racist nature of the Texas Attorney General's Office (surprise!)

After a two-year campaign to "clean up rampant voter fraud" the AG found and prosecuted 26 minor violations, no major fraud was uncovered. (or, none was prosecuted.)
But more troubling was the breakdown of prosecutions:

The number of Democrats prosecuted out of the 26 cases:
Twenty-six. 100%

The number of cases dealing with Black and Hispanic voters:
"Almost all of them" (Dallas Morning News)

(And the article mentions one high profile case in a GOP district during an election concerning gay marriage that was ignored.)

My tax dollars at work, supporting the GOP in Texas and racists everywhere!



Display:


Yuck. (2.00 / 1)

So, when do you all get a new administration down there?

Chris Bell had a shot. (2.00 / 1)

With Strayhorn and Perry splitting the Republican vote, but Kinky pretty much squandered that opportunity.  We've got the extremely popular Kay Bailey Hutchison eying the governor's mansion coming up, so it's doubtful there'll be a change in Austin any time soon.


John McCain: He flunked ECON 101.

Hutchison may get the "call up" (none / 0)

me-thinks McCain is picking Hutchison as veep. so maybe in a Democratic year we can beat a less popular ReThug. but doubtful, this is ReThugLand :(


the time to rise has been engaged.
