Yesterday, I traveled to Austin to meet with Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson with Dallas GOP Election Integrity Chair, Wes Bowen, Senator Tan Parker, who helped facilitate the meeting, and well-known election integrity expert Russ Ramsland. We met face-to-face with Secretary Nelson and her senior staff for well over an hour. The specific purpose of the visit was to discuss the E-Pollbook failures and/or manipulation that Dallas County experienced in the November 2022 Midterms and again in the November 2023 Constitutional Election. It is just the beginning of an in-depth discussion about the vulnerability of machine voting. The goal is to set the path for elections in regionally combined precinct centers that have hand-counted paper ballots.

Here we go again . . . You may recall my December 9, 2022, blog titled “It Is Time to Get Rid of Black Box Voting” (click to read). You may also recall the issues we had on the November 8, 2022, Election Day voting with the E-Pollbooks surging at the close of the voting polls – far in excess of the number of voters who checked in at the locations. History is repeating itself.

Forgive and Forget
These are words that we live by as people of Faith. But these are words that too many of us forget to live by politically. Forgiving and forgetting should be at the foremost of our minds today, after suffering through the impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton. Our Dallas County Republican Party Executive Committee condemned the State House impeachment procedure – for good reason. Impeachment should be an extreme remedy and not tossed around lightly as we have seen too often as of late. To push an impeachment through a legislative body in a few hours at the end of a long legislative session on the heels of criticism of the House Speaker’s sobriety on the floor does not seem to me to be prudent. Let’s be honest, it just looks like retaliation.
Now we move on. As Republicans protecting the great State of Texas, we must unite and move on. We cannot allow Democrats, the media, and even ourselves to get in the way of uniting all conservatives across our county, state and country.

Arguably, President Trump’s most important accomplishment was the appointment of three mostly very solid Supreme Court judges, so-say the three big rulings that came down at the very end of June. While most readers here will have seen at least the headlines, some texture could come in handy to help educate the CNN watchers or New York Times readers with whom you might cross paths!

We constantly hear cries that the Democrats are always united and Republicans are seen as bickering. In some ways that is true. It is nothing new and has been going on for many years. You have all heard me say “The best thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent, and the worst thing about Republicans is that they are each fiercely independent.” On this we can probably all agree. But, as we embark on what is likely to be a lively Republican Presidential Primary, we need to reflect on why, at the end of the day, we must be united. And, that is to preserve our Republic, freedom and the American culture. We, as Republicans are in a fight to preserve our way of life in our country.

We have all heard the saying: “Every Vote Counts.” And, it could not be more true than in local municipal and school board elections. Why? Because very few people vote, making your vote even more powerful. In the last municipal election cycle throughout Dallas County, less than 7% of the registered voters actually voted. LESS THAN 7%! While that does not seem possible, it is the reality. And of those who voted, Democrats show up on a much larger scale than Republicans.
Given the critical importance of local elections, it is very hard to understand the apathy of any voters, let alone conservative voters. The decisions of our City Council, particularly in our weak Mayor system, affect our daily lives more than many of the national issues we hear about in the media. In fact, many of the landmark federal policies in this country have emanated from the local level.
We must be active at the local level to hold out elected officials accountable, stop policies we do not agree with, and create the change that we want not only at home, but throughout the country.

It is that time, again. We are recruiting Election Judges for 2023.
Yes, for the upcoming May 6th Local Election but also to become “appointed judges” through Dallas County Commissioners Court later this summer; something we do every two years. This cycle is important because it set the roster of anointed judges that will be in place for the 2024 Primary and General Election.
Good, trained, and strong Election Judges, both Presiding Judges and Alternate Judges are the "first team" in holding fair and transparent elections in Dallas County. They are the bulwark against malfeasance in the way elections are conducted. They are our frontline and a critical part of the conduct of all elections.
