Keep in mind that SEIU = ACORN. The AP painted the best narrative it could, hiding from the headline the fact that this was an SEIU/ACORN hack (via memeorandum): Citizens' Group Helps Uncover Alleged Rampant Voter Fraud in Houston. That citizen's group? The tea party - just a few patriotic citizens that decided to take on the system:
When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends sat down and started talking politics several years ago, they soon agreed that talking wasn't enough. They wanted to do more. So when the 2008 election came around, "about 50" of her friends volunteered to work at Houston's polling places.Being witnesses was one thing. Having hard evidence another. So they took action and formed "True the Vote" and began collecting publicly available voting data, even though at first they didn't know exactly what to look for, to prove that voter fraud was occurring there. But the data gave them a strategy:
"What we saw shocked us," she said. "There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help. It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights."
You won't be surprised by 2 things here: 1) the fraud was occurring in a poor and predominantly black district, ans 2) charges of racism were hurled in a split second:
"The first thing we started to do was look at houses with more than six voters in them" Engelbrecht said, because those houses were the most likely to have fraudulent registrations attached to them. "Most voting districts had 1,800 if they were Republican and 2,400 of these houses if they were Democratic . . .
"But we came across one with 24,000, and that was where we started looking."
It was Houston's poorest and predominantly black district, which has led some to accuse the group of targeting poor black areas. But Engelbrecht rejects that, saying, "It had nothing to do with politics. It was just the numbers."Because of the overwhelming task of sifting through the data of 886 precincts containing 1.9 million voters, they called for an got resources and a bunch of volunteers. The scale of the fraud then came to light:
The SEIU hack, of course, said that there "had been mistakes made," dismissing the fact that it couldn't be possibly anything other than deliberate at that scale. The Harris voter registrar, Leo Vasquez, had this to say:"Vacant lots had several voters registered on them. An eight-bed halfway house had more than 40 voters registered at its address," Engelbrecht said. "We then decided to look at who was registering the voters."
Their work paid off. Two weeks ago the Harris County voter registrar took their work and the findings of his own investigation and handed them over to both the Texas secretary of state's office and the Harris County district attorney.
Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Steve Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid. The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.
For those libs out there that still hold onto the pathetic claim that there is no proof of voter fraud, there is. It's just that it now seems to take citizens rather than the authorities in our ruling class (that have totally dropped the ball) to weed it out.

"The integrity of the voting rolls in Harris County, Texas, appears to be under an organized and systematic attack by the group operating under the name Houston Votes."
