Funding For Election Integrity Ending in December?
RPT Vice-Chair Myers is asking assistance from the SREC.
Election integrity, a top priority in the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) platform, is seemingly taking a back seat according to a letter sent out by RPT Vice-Chair Dana Myers.
Via Vice-Chair Dana Myers:
Funding for the RPT Election Integrity (EI) program runs out at the end of December.
We must keep our RPT EI program operational. I do not want RPT relying on outside groups for such a critical program, falling short, getting into a lawsuit, or having other trouble with the Feds.
A full copy of the letter can be read below:
The letter above states that RPT Chairman Rinaldi was contacted about a solution for the election integrity program. Rinaldi then told Vice-Chair Myers to go out and raise the money for it.
Just last week, Dallas County faced issues related to election integrity when electronic pollbooks went offline at polling sites across the county.
Stoddard-Hajdu told The Dallas Express the issue has “been going on all throughout early voting.” Election officials allegedly informed her that faulty equipment was to blame.
“What I’ve been told by the elections administrator is that he thinks the problem is that they’ve got really old equipment and it needs to be updated,” Stoddard-Hajdu told The Dallas Express.
The pollbooks in question were provided by the Omaha-based commercial tech firm Election Systems & Software.
Michael Scarpello, the Dallas County elections administrator, previously told Stoddard-Hajdu that he created a $1.2 million budget item meant to fix routers on the equipment that he felt needed to be replaced.
Scarpello’s budget item, according to Stoddard-Hajdu, was referred to the county’s information technology department but was ultimately rejected.
There’s been quite a lot of debate online about the RPT being out of money. It is odd that despite others’ claims that the RPT is financially healthy, RPT Vice-Chair Myers is saying the funding for election integrity efforts is running out in December and asking the SREC to focus on fundraising.
Election integrity is obviously very important. The Texas Legislature can pass the strongest election integrity bill ever conceived, but without Republicans trained to be eyes and ears on the ground, you open yourself up to Democrat cheating and other types of fraud and funny business.
Election integrity is a major part of the Republican Party Platform, last updated during the 2022 convention.
The election equipment in Dallas (maybe all of Texas too) has not been retested and certified per SOS laws since 2018!!! Scarpello lied to everyone saying it was... Don't forget, he used to work for Runbeck! And who's his replacement? Heider Garcia! A ex Smartmatic engineer that ran the Venezuelan elections!!
All I gotta say is, get rid of the machines and go back to all paper, handcount at precinct level!!! Also, read TORE MARAS (tore says show) extremely detailed affidavit regarding ELECTION INTEGRITY!
You know... a Republican Party that is still infested with Libertarian Never Trumpers like Jen Hall et al, will NOT be finding any extra dollars to help the only Republican contender for the Presidency, DJT. Our own Tarrant County Party under Rick Barnes tenure refused to even allow a discussion of stolen elections here. The self same County Chair-fake Conservative-"Mr Financial Disaster" Barnes who is now running for Tax Assessor. UGH! For those of you uninformed Republicans, the good ole boy network thrives here in Tarrant and surrounding areas because of your ignorance and complacency. I would have thought by now many more of you would have gotten a clue about who has a stranglehold and death grip on the Republican Party statewide and county wide but many don't appear to care as long as it doesn't 'touch' them. Keep on 'voting' on fraudulent cheating electronic machines which btw are also enabled by the Republicans to get what they want like all those Amendments that passed and should not have. How do you think the Republicans will win anything in 2024 when we are still using the same cheating system and even handed off our Mr Smartmatic to go and perform his 'magic' cheat spells in Dallas County?? All I hear is'we are going to vote so and so out in 2024' and other empty garbage talk along similar lines. Even those who are running for office, in case you haven't noticed, rarely bring up our rigged election system. Any politician who doesn't make that issue their #1 priority is not someone you want to vote for anyway for whatever good your voting might be using the current cheat system. This just signals to me when I hear it that, you are telling me "hey I am a lazy ass voter who doesn't care or pay any attention to what is taking place under my nose on a daily basis". Keep on living the lie folks because karma is running closely on your heels and will catch up soon. If your discussions don't revolve around stolen elections, you are living a lie. And people need to ask the Party Leadership what they are doing about all those Republicans who stopped voting because of the system being used to steal the elections. The ranks of the newest silent majority is growing by leaps and bounds and it is being created by their own Party.
