Remember when Rick Perry endorsed Ted Cruz?
Yeah, he endorsed Ted but that didn’t include voting for him.
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have stumped for Ted Cruz for president but there’s no record he voted in this year’s Republican primary in Texas. A spokesman for Perry suggested his ballot may have been lost in the mail.
Perry is registered to vote in Fayette county, south of Austin. The county clerk insists that Perry requested a mail ballot and came in to pick it up in person. Yeah, in freekin’ person.
Fayette County Elections Administrator Dina Bell confirmed by email on Tuesday that Perry requested a mail-in ballot for the March 1 Republican primary and one was given to him on Feb. 1. Bell recalled that Perry showed up in person to get it but her office never received the completed ballot.
You can’t do that. That’s called voter fraud. The ballot must be mailed to you.
Now, there’s some folks who think that Perry purposefully did not vote in the GOP primary so he would be able to run as an independent for president. That story is blown because Perry claims he did vote but it got lost in the mail. We’ll take him at his word and say he did vote. It just didn’t count. You know, exactly like his presidential supporters. They voted but it didn’t count. I’m sure Rick’s used to that by now. It’s probably his theme song.
Yeah, I have notified the proper authorities. I called Glen Maxey.
… more to come.
