A court ruled last week that new voter registration rules in Texas can be enforced ahead of the November elections. While the effect of the new rules remains unclear, the ruling has cast new light on the state's low voter registration rates.

In the springtime there was an article in the Houston Chronicle about this outfit which calls themselves True the Vote. You think this is a bunch of volunteers anxious to spread democracy. They "will assist voters" yeah, right! This is in place of one or two poll watchers that speed up traffic and make sure the booths are private, etc. Do not be fooled. True the Vote is a bunch of rabid Republicans, who plan to intimidate and rabblerouse just like they have done in elections for about six yeasr now. . They are the ones who spread the lies about Black Panthers intimidating voters in the north. This lie was started by that pimp who destroyed ACORN .
The two black youths that the pimp got on camera were poll watchers for the community because there are many old people coming in by bus a block away and the guys were bringing them to the polling place.. Both black and white. Two black youths- not a "gang"When it comes to elections there is no thing Republicans will do to win... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. When these "folks" came to Houston they came from all over the country in buses and they stopped first in Sugarland, Texas to get advice from no other than the crook BOB DELAY. Bob Delay is a convicted felon who is still out on appeal and advising Republicans in the art of being thieves and criminals and how to steal elections.
