Voter ID & Fraud Prevention

“IN TEXAS, AN EPIDEMIC of voter fraud is harming the electoral process and it’s time we rooted it out. Of course, voter fraud is no newcomer to the Lone Star State. Six decades ago, the votes “found” in Jim Wells County’s infamous Ballot Box 13 helped Lyndon Johnson squeak into the U.S. Senate. Maybe none quite so dramatic, but other instances of “election irregularities” on both sides of the political aisle have plagued Texas since that 1948 primary.” - Greg Abbot, Texas Attorney General from 2006

Are Texas voting mechanisms vulnerable to manipulation by those who lack integrity and honesty? Accusations of voter fraud and criminal convictions exist in Texas history, along with many other states. Will it be any different this year, or in the years to come?

Can something be done about voting integrity without making it too hard for people to vote, and enabling further government intrusion into the privacy of individuals? Will electronic devices, such as RF-ID chips, take us one step closer toward overbearing government surveillance?

Voter Fraud is just one of many issues facing the Texas Legislature in 2009. Jerry Mikus, Republican for Texas House District 50 will be our guest on the Political Hope Radio Show on September 21st.
