From the Inbox: Did Dallas County's $1.1 Billion Bond Really Pass?

July 12, 2019 Austin, Texas - The largest community college district bond election ever attempted in Texas history, and the fourth largest bond overall, is being contested in a Dallas court.   Analysis of the official results by election integrity advocacy groups show numerous tabulation discrepancies that are enough to completely discredit the officially reported results.

Experts are sorting through a myriad of inconsistent election reports, computerized audit logs, conflicting tabulation numbers and sordid accounts of an environment rife with lawlessness, according to court documents.

The over 4,600 page election petition details that eyewitnesses, official Dallas County central counting station watchers, directly observed tabulation errors, illegalities and potential fraud.  

The bond election was reported to have passed with 71.46% in favor. Yet, election contest court documents cite, "While the margin of victory appears large, when electronic vote tabulation manipulations, mistakes, errors or fraud occurs, the vote spread knows no bounds."

The 18-page election contest , filed in Dallas County District Court in June, asserts that the enormity of electronic vote tabulation errors and illegalities makes it impossible to determine the bond election’s true outcome.  As such, a Dallas court is being asked to evaluate the evidence and declare the election void and order a new one. 

Analysts have begun unraveling what seems to be a $1.1 Billion-dollar election gone wrong. The detailed election contest contains over 4,000 pages of exhibits and evidence.

"The reported results for early voting and election day don't add up - the math is way off,” said Dr. Laura Pressley, Ph.D., and founder of True Texas Elections, LLC. “Because of the electronic vote tabulation discrepancies and reported illegalities, the official results of the $1Billion Dallas bond election are in question."

The Dallas Court is being asked to evaluate eyewitness reports and computerized tabulation irregularities and illegalities and declare the election void:

• Early voting flash memory cards without security seals were left unattended without security personnel (a violation of the Texas Election Code and the Texas Secretary of State Advisory 2018-34).

• Presiding judge or alternative judge were absent during the electronic download of early voting data (a violation of Texas’ Election Code Section 127.005).

• Official watchers at Dallas County central counting station, report compelling evidence that a parallel central counting station may have been set up in another part of the building, where significant election tabulation events were potentially being conducted out of the view of official central counting station watchers (a violation of Texas Election Code 33.056).

• Widespread use of wireless networks and computers, with wireless signals being documented when votes were downloaded and tabulated (in violation of Texas Election Code 129.054). Official watcher observed unlabeled grey ethernet cables running to the equipment, and a blue ethernet cable running between a wall drop and one of the tabulation system boxes on a rack. When asked why? Election officials replied, “I can’t really tell you. That’s why we rely on a contractor.”

Congolese migrant families destined for Florida, Texas and other U.S. cities

Three Florida and two Texas cities are among the 16 destinations of Congolese migrant families who arrived in San Antonio, Texas the first week of June.

A June 15 Washington Examiner story by Anna Giaritelli reported the details of the migrant’s arrival and with an assist from KENS5 reporter Jaleesa Irizarry includes destinations of the Congolese families as obtained from the City of San Antonio:

“SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Roughly 300 Congolese and Angolan citizens who arrived in San Antonio the first week of June after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border days earlier have all briskly departed the city for destinations across the country, some with fuzzy plans based partly on hope.

The hundreds of family members and single adults from Central Africa first showed up June 4 at the southern border’s Eagle Pass and Del Rio towns in south-central Texas. The migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents and claimed asylum after crossing the Rio Grande.

The agency did not, as it is supposed to, turn families over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead, it released families onto the streets of Eagle Pass and Del Rio, according to two government and nongovernment officials with first-hand knowledge of the matter. The African migrants then bought bus tickets to either San Antonio or Austin, according to San Antonio Interim Assistant City Manager Colleen Bridger.”

Last week County Examiner published details from a March 12, 2019 presentation by the International Rescue Committee (IRC)  of the stress felt on Florida’s’ educational system, especially in the parts of Florida with Congolese refugees who’ve never attended school.

“A second presentation by Ms. Bilic from International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Comprehensive Refugee Services provider in the NW Region, Leon County followed up with this:

The educational system is feeling the stress with so many refugees in a few schools while working with those who have never attended school before while in refugee camps.”

Miami-Dade, Orange and Palm Beach County school districts are home to the cities of Miami, Orlando and Boynton Beach, Florida. Dallas and Travis County are home to the cities of Dallas and Austin, Texas. 

Boynton Beach, Florida appears to be a new placement city for Congolese refugees. Reports generated from the Refugee Processing Center no DRC refugees were placed in Boynton Beach between January 1, 2015 through May, 2019.

Since January 2015, 5057 Congolese refugees were placed in 22 Texas cities with Houston and Fort Worth topping the list.
