WASHINGTON D.C. -- The American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) notified numerous counties in Texas today that they are in apparent violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration (“Motor Voter”) Act because the counties have more registered voters than voting age-eligible residents, according to data from the U.S. Census and state voter registration offices.
Among the counties notified were Brooks County, which has more than 126% of living citizens old enough to vote registered to vote, Kenedy County which has 113%, and Duval County with 102%. Just this past July, an election complaint filed in Brooks County regarding the May primary election for the local District Attorney alleges that 18 of the 325 super centenarians in the entire nation – individuals born over 110 years ago -- voted in the primary, suggesting either the fountain of youth or voter fraud is present in the county. Duval County and next door Jim Wells County in Southeast Texas are where the infamous “Duke of Duval,” George Parr delivered the necessary fraudulent votes, AFTER election day, for then U.S. Congressman Lyndon Baines Johnson to defeat former Texas Governor Coke Stevenson by 87 votes for a seat in the U.S. Senate in 1948 – which is how LBJ earned the label “Landslide Lyndon” that he often used deprecatingly to refer to himself while in the Senate, as Vice-President, and even as President.
It is indisputable that voter rolls that contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters can result in possible disenfranchisement of legally eligible voters via ballot dilution – which then subverts the integrity of the entire nation’s electoral process.
The ACRU just 3 weeks ago entered an historic election integrity consent decree in a suit filed under the Motor Voter Act against a county in Mississippi for also having more registered voters than voting-age-eligible residents – the same situation that exists in the Texas counties that were put on notice today. A trial is pending in a second federal case filed by the ACRU against another Mississippi county for also having more voters than residents eligible to vote.
After the federal judge signed the consent decree in Mississippi, ACRU Chairman Susan A. Carleson said: “This is a huge victory for the American people. Across the country, other counties have more registered voters than people alive. If they don’t clean up their rolls, they risk litigation. Every time an illegal voter casts a ballot, it steals someone else’s legal vote. The goal is to ensure the integrity of the voting process, without which we cannot continue as a self-governing nation.”
