According to a two week sampling of voter registrations in Galveston County, Texas, 47% of all NAACP voter registrations are definably suspicious, if not fraudulent. Widowed senior, Barbara Gibson, received a such a voter registration almost to the week of the 10 year anniversary of her husband Mikes death in Harris County a few weeks ago, and more are showing up across Texas. The Tax Assessor for Galveston County, Cheryl Johnson, says her office has already been coordinating with the Elections Division of the Texas Secretary of States office on a nearly identical mailer from a renamed ACORN organization called the Voter Participation Center. Johnson said the margin of incomplete information wasnt out of the norm, but what was unique, was so many registrations with small variations in either the name or the address of existing voters on the rolls. She states:
In the course of two weeks we received about 1300 registration applications, over 550 received from just three groups. The Voter Participation Center, the LCV Education Fund and the NAACP. Of those three groups, 174 were voters already registered or an attempt to register with an slight variation of their legal name or address, which would allow them to register again later with their correct name, had we not caught it.
Twenty Six percent (26%) of the sampled registrations submitted by these groups were suspicious leading Johnson to believe it was a much larger attempt to effect the November elections. They tabulated the breakdown of flagged registrations by group as:
Voter Participation Center 28%
LCV Ed Fund 17%
NAACP 47%
