Nonpartisan Watchdog Groups Urge Today nationally respected ethics watchdog groups, Campaign Legal Center and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), submitted a formal request to the US Department of Justice asking for an investigation into the activities of Republican Texas State House Member, Dwayne Bohac (HD138 – Houston). Over the last several months, The Lone Star Project has exposed a series of corrupt activities by Bohac, his business partner Ed Johnson, and Republican Tax Assessor Collector Leo Vasquez. Documents obtained by the Lone Star Project reveal that Bohac was part of a corrupt enterprise within the Harris County Voter Registrar's office in which his employee, Ed Johnson, also worked as an associate voter registrar and participated in disqualifying nearly 70,000 voter registration applications and personally reviewing at least 7,000 provisional ballot affidavits. The scheme is the subject of a pending federal lawsuit. The request to the DOJ is fairly broad, asking that the investigation not only investigate Bohac’s specific activities in Harris County but also his official actions as a Member of the Legislature. Since the Lone Star Project broke the story months ago, Dwayne Bohac has gone into virtual hiding refusing to release any statement or respond to press inquiries.
