Friend in Fort Bend County voted for Paxton and got this...

Election Day in Texas, we are already fielding questions. If you have something let us know or go to www.voterfbi.org

Updated instructions for ES&S Cast Vote Record requests: It depends on the version, but for version 4.6 the export instructions begin at the bottom of page 42 of the manual linked at t . me / LadyDrazaChat / 66986 where it says
Exporting the Ballot Table, Ballot Images and CVRs
and continue through the top of page 49.

You want to ask for everything to be exported:
* ballot tables
* ballot images and cast vote records (without watermark) as PDF
* cast vote records and write-ins as XLSX
to a big USB thumb drive (64 or 128GB should do unless you are in a really big county). They may let you supply the USB thumb drive yourself (go to BestBuy) or charge you $50 or so. I would ask them to waive all other fees since this is for non-commercial election integrity research, which is in the public interest.

So far we have our election equipment set to the wrong time, seals not matching our chain of custody logs, ballots being rejected and QR codes that bring up unreadable data.

So Rick Barnes and Heider Garcia have relieved me from duty as an election clerk due to my persistence in asking what to do with a ballot issued to a Democrat voter by another clerk who didn't ask the party.

When we were given two options:

1.) Give our ballot to the Dems and let them scan it without any form of affidavit to reconcile our missing ballot and extra check in

Or

2.) Cancel the check-in, spoil the ballot and let the voter start over with the Dems.

Our scanner was off by one hour this morning and just had to be restarted due to the Dem attempting to vote on our side of the split primary.

Not all the machines are programmed by party, just the scanners and only for election day despite the parties requesting a split primary. ALL thru early voting our ballots are mixed up with the Dems.

No audit will be afforded for this Tarrant County primary runoff.

So this kind of dumb shit clearly happens every day with our elections. The elections office discourages keeping accurate records of what we actually do in our polling locations with our election records.

Rick Barnes is corrupt as Hell.

"Champion of Election Integrity" my ass!

And this is why the County and Parties can't keep judges, when things go wrong we get bad advice, mixed messages and it will be blamed on the workers when it goes wrong despite no training and terrible guidance.

Oh nice, we have other equipment at other locations also off by 1hr.

Related to paying for Open Records Requests:

Sec. 552.261. CHARGE FOR PROVIDING COPIES OF PUBLIC INFORMATION. (a) The charge for providing a copy of public information shall be an amount that reasonably includes all costs related to reproducing the public information, including costs of materials, labor, and overhead. If a request is for 50 or fewer pages of paper records, the charge for providing the copy of the public information may not include costs of materials, labor, or overhead, but shall be limited to the charge for each page of the paper record that is photocopied, unless the pages to be photocopied are located in:
(1) two or more separate buildings that are not physically connected with each other; or
(2) a remote storage facility.
(b) If the charge for providing a copy of public information includes costs of labor, the requestor may require the governmental body's officer for public information or the officer's agent to provide the requestor with a written statement as to the amount of time that was required to produce and provide the copy. The statement must be signed by the officer for public information or the officer's agent and the officer's or the agent's name must be typed or legibly printed below the signature. A charge may not be imposed for providing the written statement to the requestor.

Ok. Paxton has the power here.

SUBCHAPTER G. ATTORNEY GENERAL DECISIONS

Texas Government Code
Sec. 552.301. REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL DECISION. (a) A governmental body that receives a written request for information that it wishes to withhold from public disclosure and that it considers to be within one of the exceptions under Subchapter C must ask for a decision from the attorney general about whether the information is within that exception if there has not been a previous determination about whether the information falls within one of the exceptions.
(a-1) For the purposes of this subchapter, if a governmental body receives a written request by United States mail and cannot adequately establish the actual date on which the governmental body received the request, the written request is considered to have been received by the governmental body on the third business day after the date of the postmark on a properly addressed request.
(b) The governmental body must ask for the attorney general's decision and state the exceptions that apply within a reasonable time but not later than the 10th business day after the date of receiving the written request.

Just read the whole code!!

CHECK
YOUR
BALLOTS BEFORE YOU SCAN

All public records requests for ballots from the voters who cast them, if denied, must be first filtered thru the AG for a denial. They can't issue a denial without going thru Paxton if we make an open records request.

Aaaand then we do a Writ.

552.321. SUIT FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS. (a) A requestor or the attorney general may file suit for a writ of mandamus compelling a governmental body to make information available for public inspection if the governmental body refuses to request an attorney general's decision as provided by Subchapter G or refuses to supply public information or information that the attorney general has determined is public information that is not excepted from disclosure under Subchapter C.
(b) A suit filed by a requestor under this section must be filed in a district court for the county in which the main offices of the governmental body are located. A suit filed by the attorney general under this section must be filed in a district court of Travis County, except that a suit against a municipality with a population of 100,000 or less must be filed in a district court for the county in which the main offices of the municipality are located.
