I thought things would be different with a new Chancellor on board. Obviously, I was sadly mistaken.<BR/><BR/>I don't know, but I'm sure by now the District has been informed of any lawsuit filed against them for their gross negligence and malfeasance in handling the election. The courts should negate the election, fines should be levied, and someone should do a little jail time! Blaming everything on an employee who no longer works for the district should not exempt the Board of Directors or College officials from culpability.<BR/><BR/>Just my opinionUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846246049895701581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-47158044714327793692008-06-24T09:31:00.000-05:002008-06-24T09:31:00.000-05:00RORSCHACH: There was turnout in both Montgomery a...RORSCHACH: There was turnout in both Montgomery and Harris Counties, In Montgomery County it was one precinct to one precinct, and the vote was pretty evenly distributed; polls closed at 7:00pm and we all had our stuff turned in and gone by 8:30pm.<BR/><BR/>Harris County was a different story. Chaos and confusion was perhaps a better description. People in the Humble ISD were combined into an average of 6 precincts on election day including a few that lived across in Montgomery County, so that in itself was a little strange. The rest of Harris County; (this is where it gets kinky) has the strange combination of voting. In 99 precincts the college only votes about 4,500 covering 5 school districts; but within one school district (Klein) they voted 9,100 ballots.... but it was not joint or polling with the college vote, yet they had close to the number of no Bond voters as the college had total voters for all 5 school districts......<BR/><BR/>A political Science professor told me that this one will make the text books, as it is as clear as day as to what was going on... it just went too well and now it's sticking out like a sore thumb that won't go away.<BR/><BR/>Rumor has it that the blame is being laid on an employee that recently left and went to another college........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-54997226584783523382008-06-23T15:11:00.000-05:002008-06-23T15:11:00.000-05:00Actually it is my understanding that a lawsuit has...Actually it is my understanding that a lawsuit has been filed against LSCS AND Klein ISD for voting irregularities.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13598068.post-29559843491712468862008-06-23T15:08:00.000-05:002008-06-23T15:08:00.000-05:00It is a sad commentary on how devious school admin...It is a sad commentary on how devious school administrations are in running "fixed" elections.

Some ballot boxes had broken seals and some had no seals. So I guess you pick which votes will count and which votes will not. No one really cares and nothing is going to be done about it. Almost 1/2 Billion dollars decided by 20,000 votes.

Well if one were to take and analyze the voting patterns of the 2006 and 2008 election, there certainly appears a pattern. <BR/><BR/>I kind of thought this was all in the past with Duval County, but even in the national election when the underdog is getting more money they want to throw out the campaign finance reforms and get all that they can.<BR/><BR/>Looks like we have that here too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
