Duvall County, Texas, ain’t got nothing on Massachusettes.

During the GOP primary for a state house seat, there was some massive voter fraud.  Jack Villamaino voted Democrats in the GOP primary.

Earlier this week, Villamaino pleaded guilty to felony charges of stealing ballots and changing the party affiliation of 280 Democrats during his campaign for state representative. A judge sentenced him to a year in jail, only four months of which he’ll be forced to serve behind bars.

He changed the party affiliation of Democrats and voted them illegally by absentee in the damn Republican primary.

But, that doesn’t count as voter fraud because a Republican did it.

Thanks to Dustin for the heads up.

He’s like Clark Kent, once he puts the glasses on, no one will know he’s the same guy as Superman.

Smugmug.

The following letter is from Glen Maxey.  Some of you got it this afternoon and we raised $300 in the first hour.

Dear Beauty Salon Patrons,

Remember me? The old guy who raised money for new technology for the Texas Democratic Party?

I sorta think of you as a part of the rescue squad. When we wanted to build online tools, you guys stepped up to the plate and raised over $8500 to do so. I threatened to dance nekkid on a table if you’d donate. Many of you did. Others donated to keep me from dancing nekkid on a table.

This time, I’m hell bent on helping grandma and grandpa in rural Texas get a ballot.

Republicans have put up all kinds of ID barriers. Folks have to use a computer to vote. Some of them don’t trust the machines and want a paper ballot. Then there are the lines and no public transporation to get the the polls. There’s an answer to their challenges: a ballot by mail! It’s a paper ballot. You don’t need a driver’s license to vote. You don’t have to stand in line. And you don’t have to have your ornery no-good kid drive you to the polls.

Adopt a voter and send them an application for a mail ballot!!! For just .38 cents we’ll send them one Hell, adopt a whole county.

Somewhere in Texas there are Democratic seniors who don’t have an ID or are too frail to go to the polls. Texas Democratic Party will mail them an application to vote if you help us by adopting a county. Donate here at the link below to help.

You can keep reading if I haven’t convinced you. If I have, just go back a couple of lines and donate.

Senior voters are an important part of the Democratic legacy, across our nation and here at home in Texas. They help us elect Democrats on every level statewide, from the courthouse to the state house. We plan to continue our proud tradition of standing with senior voters on the issues that matter most to them – including the right to vote.

Now, it’s easier than ever for seniors to vote. Under a new state law, disabled Texans and voters who are 65 + can apply to vote by mail. Once you apply to vote by mail your ballot will be mailed to you for every election: primaries, run offs, and of course the general election.

Voting by mail is easy and convenient. It allows voters to take their time and mark their ballots without the hassle of electronic voting machines. It also allows those who are who are disenfranchised by the onerous voter ID laws to cast a ballot.

There are close to 600,000 Democratic seniors who are eligible to vote by mail and its up to us to sign them up. This summer we need to teach them about the program and have them fill out their applications.

Any amount you give will go directly toward putting applications into the hands of a senior citizen or disabled Texan.

The earlier an application is received, the earlier a ballot will be mailed out, so time is of the essence!

Democratically yours,

Glen Maxey

Here’s a list of where I’m still trying to find funds. Any amount helps.

You might want to send some money so I can send applications to Smith County. It would be like a love letter to Louie Gohmert.

Thank you, Guys!

Eric Cantor has a leadership PAC called, gigglingly, “Every Republican Is Crucial” or,- get ready for a cutesy attack – ERICPAC.  See what he did there?  His name is Eric.

So Texas Congressvarmint gave ERICPAC a donation.

Click the little one to see the big one.

Yeah, a hot check.  A Republican congressman gave the Republican leadership a hot check.

How’s that we-can-balance-the-budget thing working out for you?

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

RIck Perry will be booked and mugshot today at the Travis County Courthouse at 5:00.  His supporters will rally there.  Supporters of justice will rally at the Capitol at the same time.

Let’s see if he does the same thing Tom DeLay did – sneak in and out for his mugshot wearing enough makeup to qualify as a drag queen.

More soon – outta pocket today.

Oh ye of little Perry faith.

Barack Obama is destroying America and Rick Perry lives in America, so there ya go.
