According to Bill King, "There is no question that voting by mail is inherently less secure than voting in person. The Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by James Baker and Jimmy Carter, concluded in its 2005 report that “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud” (p.46, emphasis added)." That being said, over the weekend, Jolanda Jones got her butt kicked by Danielle Keys Bess in the "SPECIAL ELECTION" for the HD-147 seat, during the "EARLY VOTING PERIOD," where 'live bodies" had to go into the voting polls to cast their vote. Then on "ELECTION DAY VOTING" the underdog put a "BEAT-DOWN" on Jolanda Jones as "live bodies" had to appear at the polls in person to cast their votes. However, Jolanda Jones, and her "LOW-DOWN" Campaign Manager, by the name of Dallas Jones were able to escape the "JAWS OF DEFEAT" by a mere couple hundred votes that they received by way of "ABSENTEE BALLOT" votes.
So, just for the record, as of 9:29 am on Sunday, May 8, 2022, Jolanda Jones supposedly had 845 absentee mail ballots, and Danielle Keys Bess had 481 absentee mail ballots. That said, the differential in the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT CATEGORY” is only 364 absentee mail ballots. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
A Primer on Voting by Mail - Part II - Partisan Effect & Security
- BY BILL KING -
Last time, I shared some of the history of voting by mail and the procedures currently used by various states. Today, I want to focus on two questions:
Does voting by mail favor one of the two major parties?
Does voting by mail result in more illegal voting?
Partisan Advantage?
Most of the academic research before 2020 concluded that allowing voters to mail in their ballots had not resulted in a clear advantage to either party. Early in 2020, a Stanford research team looked at mail-in voting data from 1996-2018. They found that voting by mail increased turnout of both Democratic and Republican voters by about 2%. As a result, they concluded there was little likelihood that voting by mail had resulted in a clear partisan advantage for either side.
Based on working in Texas elections for the last five decades, I am not sure I agree with their conclusion. Republicans, at least in Texas, were the masters of promoting mail-in voting by seniors, who tend to vote more conservatively. A number of Republican groups, including the infamous pay-to-play slates, would mail the applications for a mail-in ballot to seniors with a history of voting in the Republican primary. In almost every election Republicans had a significant advantage when mail-in ballots were counted.
But in the last few years, Democrats basically took that page out of the Republican playbook and began actively promoting mail-in ballots for seniors with a Democratic primary voting history. As a result, the tally of mail-in ballots by each party has mostly equalized in recent elections before 2020.
There is no question that voting by mail is inherently less secure than voting in person. The Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by James Baker and Jimmy Carter, concluded in its 2005 report that “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud” (p.46, emphasis added).
There are two characteristics of voting by mail that make it inherently more risky than voting in person. First, the voter is not presenting themselves at a poll, so it is more difficult to verify the voter’s identity and to ensure that the voter is not being improperly influenced or coerced while completing their ballot. Second, ballots must leave the custody of officials, creating the risk that they can be fraudulently completed or that valid ballots can be intercepted and destroyed before they are returned for counting. Notwithstanding these risks, there have been a very small number of cases of documented fraud related to mail-in voting. The conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, maintains a database of documented cases involving voting irregularities dated back to 1982. During that time, hundreds of millions of votes have been cast by mail. However, there are only a few hundred cases in their database involving mail-in ballots. In only a handful of cases have involved enough ballots to make a difference in the outcome of the election.
However, there have been some high-profile cases in which mail-in voting fraud was consequential. One of the most notorious was the Miami mayoral election in 1998. The results of that election were overturned by a court, which found widespread fraud in the absentee ballots along with other irregularities.
I recently spoke at some length to Lori Augino, the executive director of National Vote at Home Institute, a non-profit, nonpartisan group that promotes responsible mail-in voting. Before becoming the executive director at NVHI, Augino was the director of elections in Washington state, one of the first states to adopt mailing ballots to all registered voters.
In my conversation, Augino demonstrated an incredibly in-depth understanding of the issues surrounding mail-in voting. Interestingly, her organization does not advocate the adoption of universal mail-in voting unless and until a jurisdiction has adopted certain safeguards. Most of their recommendations have not been implemented in Texas, and certainly were not in place in Harris County in 2020 when it proposed a dramatic expansion of voting by mail.
High on their list of recommendations is the rigorous maintenance of voter rolls. Of course, a certain number of voters are always moving, and a certain number pass away each year. A smaller number are convicted of a crime for which they lose their right to vote. For the most part, voters do not self-report these changes. So, without proactive procedures to constantly update this information, there will be a significant number of voters on the rolls who should not be there for various reasons.
Mailing ballots to every voter on the roll that is not routinely updated will result in thousands of ballots being mailed to addresses where the voter no longer lives. Having a large number of ballots addressed to invalid voters outside the custody of election officials obviously creates a risk of the ballot being inappropriately. This is why NVHI emphasizes the importance of robust safeguards to ensure ballots are only mailed to voters entitled to cast one in the election. (The issue of maintenance of the voter roll deserves a post of its own which I intend to write soon.)
NVHI also recommends the use of signature verification software and strict standards for drop box construction and placement. It also has a variety of recommendations for design of mail-in ballots and carrier envelopes and ballot opening and counting procedures.
My sense is that if election officials followed the procedures recommended by NVHI, the risk of mail-in ballots being used fraudulently would be negligible.
Of course, based on the performance of some of our election officials, especially in here Harris County, that is a pretty big “if.”
Some voters may find voting by mail more convenient, but many elections officials argue it is expensive and time-consuming for them. It can also delay election results being reported. So, given the risk that election officials might not follow the proper procedures and the additional cost and hassle of processing mail-in ballots, is it worth it?
More on that next time.
Jolanda Jones (left), was given all she could handle by Danielle Keys Bess (second from left), in the "SPECIAL ELECTION" held on Saturday, May 7, 2022, for HD-147, to serve out the remainder of former State Representative Garnet Coleman's term. However, some serious questions are swirling around the results, as Jolanda Jones got her butt kicked by Danielle Keys Bess during the "EARLY VOTING PERIOD" in-person voter turnout, and then Bess beat her butt again in the "ELECTION DAY" in-person turnout. However, once again, Dallas Jones, whom former FBI Investigative Specialist Charles Marler feels is a master at playing games with "ABSENTEE BALLOT VOTES" somehow managed to deliver victory for Jolanda Jones by a 202 vote margin. And in the race for (HCC) School Board Trustee for District 2, the margin was even slimmer, as Charlene Ward Johnson, the ex-wife of State Representative Jarvis Johnson (far right), was able to finish a mere 138 votes ahead of Kathy "Lynch" Gunter, the second-place finisher.
Whenever you hear that Dallas Jones, is involved in a political contest, you had better be on the lookout for some shenanigans. Why? Well, in my opinion, this Dallas Jones cat is bad news. He's not good for the game of politics, but he has resurfaced since he was run off the campaign trail back during the 2020 Presidential Election cycle when he was supposed to be serving as the Texas Political Director for the BIDEN/HARRIS Presidential Campaign. Did already say that Dallas Jones is bad news? Well, I'm telling you again!!!
CHARLES “CHUCK” MARLER: “During my investigation, a core group of names continued to surface regarding the organization and operation of the voter fraud scheme. Witnesses have stated to me that Dallas Jones and others are heavily involved in running an "ABSENTEE BALLOT HARVESTING RING" I've been investigating for the last few years."
Isn't It Strange that Mail Ballots Played A Role in Deciding Both Black Races on Saturday, May 7, 2022, in Harris County?
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
According to Chuck Marler's affidavit that was submitted to the Texas Supreme Court as part of a lawsuit involving election fraud, a guy who worked for Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis was overheard bragging that 700,000 illegal ballots could be stolen using the "ABSENTEE BALLOT HARVESTING MACHINE" that's been secretly operating in Harris County, Texas. Chuck also asserted in his affidavit, “I have in my possession videotaped interviews of witnesses attesting to the aforementioned people having groups of people completing thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots, including completing ballots for deceased individuals; illegally going into nursing homes, with the complicity of the nursing home staff, and filling out and forging the signatures of nursing home residents; signing up homeless individuals to vote using the ballot harvester’s address then completing the ballot and forging the homeless individual’s signature."
HOW THE SCHEME WORKS
According to Charles “CHUCK” Marler, “This entire operation is being run by the elite politicians of the Democrat Party in Houston/Harris County.” He also made the assertion that former Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman, who resigned shortly following the 2020 Democratic Party Primary citing “personal health concerns,” did so because she was concerned that she “would be included in the eventual arrest pertaining to illegal ballot harvesting.

Trust me when I tell you that this Dallas Jones cat needs to be closely watched during "ROUND TWO" of the battle between Jolanda Jones and Danielle Keys Bess. According to former FBI Investigative Specialist Charles Marler, political consultant Dallas Jones dude is heavily involved in the "ABSENTEE BALLOT HARVESTING RING" that's been operating in the Black community for decades. And I can't disagree with Chuck, in my opinion, Dallas Jones could possibly be "THE DIRTIEST CONSULTANT" in the state of Texas. That said, Danielle Keys Bess is going to need a "TASKFORCE" to make sure that she gets a fair and honest chance to kick Jolanda's butt on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, in the Democratic Party primary race for House District #147, in Harris County, Texas.
Danielle Keys Bess was seriously outgunned, but this young lady has the heart of a lion. In my opinion, she has everything it takes to kick Jolanda's butt on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, in the Democratic Party primary runoff election for House District 147. However, to do so, she's going to need to put together a "TASK FORCE" to make sure that she does not get cheated. And she's going to need to keep a watchful eye on Dallas Jones, that chump who is managing Jolanda Jone's campaign. That being said, the team of Danielle Keys Bess and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee came up a little short on Saturday, May 7, 2022, but they've proven to all of Harris County, Texas that they're going to be a force to be reckoned with on May 24th, when Danielle Keys Bess and Jolanda Jones will face off for the real fight!
I've always been impressed with Kathy "Lynch" Gunter, the woman who finished as the runner-up in the race for (HCC) Houston Community College for District 2, on Saturday, May 7, 2022. But I also really like Charlene Ward Johnson, and believe that either of these two women would do an excellent job if elected to replace former HCC Trustee Rhonda Skillern-Jones. That being said, my boy Eric Carr (far right), is rocking with Kathy "Lynch" Gunter, so I wouldn't count her out. Kathy got a real squad, standing with her if you ask me. That's Barry Horn (far left), with the shades on, and Everett "Buffalo" Gill holding her campaign sign.
I am so happy to see Charlene Ward Johnson, the ex-wife of State Representative Jarvis Johnson, running for office. I've always admired her strength, courage, and intestinal fortitude. In fact, she is a strong woman and a breath of fresh air on the political scene. That being said, the Black community can't go wrong in the runoff race for Houston Community College District 2, in the runoff between Charlene Ward Johnson and Kathy "Lynch" Gunter, to replace Rhonda Skillern-Jones.
So, just for the record, as of 9:29 am on Sunday, May 8, 2022, Charlene Ward Johnson had 695 absentee mail ballots, and Kathy "Lynch" Gunter had 462 absentee mail ballots. That said, the differential in the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT CATEGORY” is only 233 absentee mail ballots. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
Now, it's funny how Kathy "Lynch" Gunter was able to finish ahead of Charlene Ward Johnson in the "EARLY VOTING" in-person voting category but wasn't able to do so in the "ABSENTEE BALLOT" voting category. Anyways, that's a story for another day. Comparatively speaking, during the "EARLY VOTING PERIOD" Kathy "Lynch" Gunter received 750 votes, for 42.96% of the vote, and Charlene Ward Johnson received 643 votes, for 36.83% of the vote. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
Look at how tight the race between Charlene Ward Johnson and Kathy "Lynch" Gunter was on election day. Comparatively speaking, Charlene Ward Johnson received 321 votes for 35.67% of the vote. And Kathy "Lynch" Gunter finished with 309 votes, for 34.33% of the vote. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
The fight for the seat to replace former HCC Trustee Rhonda Skillern Jones went down to the wire, as Charlene Ward Johnson received 1,659 votes, for 39.05% of the vote, and Kathy "Lynch" Gunter finished with 1,521 votes, for 35.81% of the vote. That being said, I can't wait to see these two duly-qualified women face off in their runoff showdown. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
So, just for the record, as of 9:29 am on Sunday, May 8, 2022, Jolanda Jones supposedly had 845 absentee mail ballots, and Danielle Keys Bess had 481 absentee mail ballots. That said, the differential in the “ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOT CATEGORY” is only 364 absentee mail ballots. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
According to the “ELECTION DAY” returns, as of 9:29 am on Sunday, May 8, 2022, Danielle Keys Bess the “UNOFFICIAL RESULTS” show that Danielle Keys Bess kicked Jolanda’s butt in terms of the “ELECTION DAY” voter turnout. That said, Danielle Keys Bess captured more in-person votes than Jolanda Jones on “ELECTION DAY” by receiving 805 in-person votes, for 53.81% of the Election Day vote. Comparatively speaking, only 691 people turned out to vote in person for Jolanda Jones on Election Day. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
So, as of 9:29 am on Sunday, May 8, 2022, Jolanda Jones has 2,305 total votes, for 52.29% of the vote to win the “SPECIAL ELECTION” that was held to serve out the remainder of State Representative Garnet Coleman’s term. And as for Danielle Keys Bess, she came up short, with 2,103 total votes. You can "CLICK HERE" to view the complete election returns.
As you can see, Vidal Martinez says nearly all of the candidates who ran for Harris County Judge in the Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Republican Party Primary have sided with former federal prosecutor Vidal Marinez in his showdown with fellow Republican, Alexandra del Moral Mealer. Randy Kubosh received (16,388) votes, Martina Lemond Dixon received (25,012) votes, HQ Bolanos received (2,008) votes, and Warren Howell received (13,349) votes in the race for Harris County Judge back on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in the Republican Party Primary. And for the record, George Harry Zoes (not pictured), who received 4,287 votes, has also endorsed federal prosecutor Vidal Martinez who received (44,216) votes over Alexandra del Moral Mealer who only received 50,435 votes. So, when you start to do the math, things aren't looking that good for Alexandra del Moral Mealer as "TEAM VIDAL MARTINEZ" now has a combined 105,260 potential votes total, and Alexandra del Moral only received 50,435 total votes back on Super Tuesday.
Over 700,000 Votes Will be Needed to Unseat "Lying" Lina Hidalgo on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, in the Midterm Election
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Even with all of the crime sweeping through Harris County, Texas, and corruption swirling around Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, I don't see any possible way that Alexandra del Moral Mealer can be "lying" Lina Hidalgo. Why? Well, there's a big difference between getting 50,435 votes in a Republican Party Primary with nine candidates in the race, and being able to garner votes in the 600,000 to 800,000 range to win a countywide race in Harris County, Texas during a Gubernatorial or Presidential Election cycle.
LINA IS THE WEAKEST DEMOCRAT, BUT SHE COULD STILL BEAT ALEXANDRA
Back during the 2018 Midterm Election, Lina Hidalgo was the only Democratic candidate on the entire ballot who did not receive more than 600,000 votes. In fact, "lying" Lina Hidalgo only received 595,221 votes, for 49.78% of the vote. And on top of that, Ed Emmett, the Republican Harris County Judge beat her in the "ABSENTEE BALLOT CATEGORY" by receiving 52,508 absentee mail ballots. Comparatively speaking, "lying" Lina Hidalgo only received 40,703 absentee mail ballots back then.
MANY CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE THAT ALEXANDRA DEL MORAL MEALER IS A DEMOCRAT RUNNING AS A REPUBLICAN
Many Republicans are looking at Alexandra del Moral Mealer sideways right now. Why? Well, based on her "VOTING RECORD" since moving to Harris County, Texas from California, according to a flyer that I obtained, Alexander del Moral Mealer has only voted in one Republican Party Primary. So, in reality, nominating Alexandra del Moral Mealer is going to be a case of "LYING" LINA HIDALGO running against herself in November. "That's right, she had 10 chances to stand up for conservative values and only did so once," said the flyer, speaking of Alexander del Moral Mealer's voting record. So, reaching the 600,000 to 800,000 threshold would be next to impossible for Alexandra del Moral Mealer to reach, with conservatives thinking that she's actually a Democrat masquerading around as a Republican. But maybe that's by design...
A BRIEF LOOK AT WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE UP AGAINST IN THE 2022 MIDTERMS
All things being equal, in terms of "VOTER INTEGRITY" and the one vote per person notion, Republicans are still going to find it difficult to beat Democrats in Harris County, Texas without appealing to Independents, Libertarians, Green Party voters, and minorities who've found themselves in the "APATHETIC VOTER CATEGORY" over the last few election cycles.
OVER 1,087,783 REGISTERED VOTERS IN HARRIS COUNTY STAYED AT HOME
In case you don't know, "APATHETIC VOTERS" simply means that these are people who are registered to vote, but don't go to the polls to cast their ballot for one reason or another. Do you realize that 1,087,783 people who were registered to vote in Harris County, Texas back during the 2018 Midterm Election didn't even bother to vote? Yes, you heard me correctly, over 1 million registered voters did not go to the polls to vote for anybody. That being said, the number of people who aren't voting in Harris County, Texas are the ones who have the real power. Their numbers are far greater than the numbers who are casting votes for Republican and Democratic candidates. But don't take my word for it, if you scroll down this report, you will be able to see exactly how many votes each Democratic candidate received back during the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Midterm Election.

Harris County Commissioner Adrian Garcia, and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo both have to go. These are "TWO DIRTY DEMOCRATS" who are making the entire Democratic Party look dirty at this point. Both, Commissioner Garcia, and 'lying' Lina Hidalgo should resign their positions and allow Democrats the opportunity to select better nominees for the upcoming Tuesday, November 8, 2022, Midterm Election.
"I am happy to announce my endorsement of Vidal Martinez for Harris County Judge. Over the last six months, I was able to get to know Vidal and the other candidates for County Judge quite well, and he is easily the most qualified candidate in the run-off election race and our best chance at beating Lina Hidalgo. As Republicans, we all know and agree on the major issues and shortcomings at Commissioners Court, and Vidal Martinez will be ready to execute change on day one. His experience as a federal prosecutor, time spent serving as Houston Port Commissioner and Greater Houston Partnership board member, as well as his tenure on the Methodist Hospital System Board means that he will not need any on-the-job training and can hit the ground running. Vidal Martinez is the leader we need to bring common sense back to Harris County, and he has my full support. I urge you to join me in voting for Vidal Martinez for Harris County Judge on May 24th."

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Now is the time when our love for America must prevail. It is incumbent upon us to elect "PUBLIC SERVANTS" who understand that they work for us. We need "ELECTED OFFICIALS" in office who love "OUR CONSTITUTION" and the ideals that our nation was founded upon by our forefathers. We must make it our collective effort to "PUT PEOPLE OVER POLITICS" and do what's best for America during this crucial moment in time."
Favoritism and Party Politics Have No Place Inside Our Harris County Courtrooms
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
At the end of the day, the judicial races are the most important races on the ballot. That said, who we allow to put on that black robe and occupy judicial benches (especially in Harris County, Texas) matters a great deal. Over the years, through straight-ticket voting, and folks going into the polls playing "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" we've allowed a few bad folks to slip through the cracks. Now, I'm not trying to play party politics in any way, shape, or form, with my words. All I'm trying to say is that nobody is perfect, but if we make it our goal to elevate people who fear God and have a backbone into positions of authority, every one of us will be afforded the opportunity to live our best life.
