GOP Election Scandal Gains National Attention
Harris County corruption first investigated and exposed by the Lone Star Project is detailed in national publication

Highly respected journalist Lou Dubose  recently detailed the corrupt enterprise inside the Harris County Tax Assessor Collector's office  in the nationally read Washington Spectator. The Lone Star Project first investigated and exposed the Harris County Republican election scandal revealing that a paid Republican campaign consultant was allowed to serve as the Associate Voter Registrar in Harris County, giving Republicans an “inside man.” Under his supervision during the 2008 election cycle, nearly 70,000 voter registration applications were turned back and at least 7,000 provisional ballot affidavits were mishandled, some even altered using white-out.
