REPUBLICAN TX SUPREME COURT JUSTICE TO CHALLENGE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS!
REPUBLICAN TX SUPREME COURT JUSTICE TO CHALLENGE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS!

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IN TX CONSIDERING CHALLENGE TO STATE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS!
Inexplicable Tallies from Electronic Voting Machines in Tarrant County, Elsewhere in State Require Full Recount and/or Contest, According to Campaign Manager
'Serious mistakes were made,' Understates Candidate, Former Texas Justice Steve Smith

A Conservative Republican former Texas Supreme Court Justice, who ran against a Republican opponent backed by Gov. Rick Perry, is considering a challenge to the tremendously flawed Primary Elections held in the state two weeks ago on new Electronic Voting Machines.

The campaign for Steve Smith announced they have filed a "Public Information Act request with the Tarrant County Elections Administrator seeking to review public documents relating to the Republican Party primary election in Tarrant County" on March 7th.

Amongst the many troubling concerns pointed out to The BRAD BLOG by Smith's campaign manager, Smith "outperformed the statewide results by 13%," in his home county of Tarrant in 2004, "but this year, according to the results, he underperformed the statewide results by 23%."

There's much more in our complete report, but we thought we'd point out this one right here as well:

Winkler County, which went for Smith by margins of 260-92 (74%) and 468-249 (65%) in the 2002 and 2004 elections, went against Smith by an unbelievable 0-273 (100%) margin.

1. Wow, will something be done now that a Repub
is challenging the results of primary election?

I think anyone who was a candidate in the primary, should join together to bring about change.
Perhaps they could join in on a class action lawsuit.

What would it take for ALL candidates to work together to ensure everybody has a right to a fair and free elections?

How could any candidate, who has poured money, blood, sweat and tears into their campaigns, just walk away with not challenging the machines we are forced to vote on?

Wouldn't it be in their best interest to put a stop to this madness?:shrug:

Thanks for posting this babylonsister, hopefully we will get some kind of movement on this disaster.

6. This part really looks strange.

Winkler County, which went for Smith by margins of 260-92 (74%) and 468-249 (65%) in the 2002 and 2004 elections, went against Smith by an unbelievable 0-273 (100%) margin.


He was dropping off at the polls, but going from 74% to 65% to 0% is quite a drop. Even if he had died, or was sentenced to lifetime in prison or a mental institution, he should have gotten more votes than that.
