Cong. Sheila Jackson-Lee Electioneering
Texas Insider Report: HOUSTON Texas This is pure desperation by a Democratic Party everyone knows is not doing so well. All these attacks are clearly an attempt to bully & silence a group of volunteer citizens trying to keep the election process honest" said Kelly Shackelford president & CEO of the Liberty Institute representing Catherine Engelbrecht &
the King Street Patriots.
Engelbrecht & the King Street Patriots filed an answer in court Monday responding to a what they say is a baseless defamation lawsuit brought by Texans Together Education Fund parent company of Houston Votes which has been accused of possible voter registration fraud by the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector.
Both
Texans Together &
Texans for Public Justice receive funding from
Open Society Institute of which liberal supporter George Soros is founder and chairman.
King Street Patriots has also been attacked by a lawsuit from the
Texas Democratic Party and a coordinated ethics complaint filed by Texans for
Public Justice.
As a matter of law corporations cannot sue individuals for defamation; this attack is baseless" said Kelly Shackelford president/CEO of Liberty Institute which represents Catherine Engelbrecht &
the King Street Patriots.
Only a week into early voting volunteer poll-watchers also are being verbally and physically harassed by people loitering at the polls with no intention to vote at the time including a man identified as a reverend and Houston Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee who was seen inside the polling location electioneering and threatening to turn a poll-watchers name to the Department of Justice for voter intimidation.
Additionally poll watchers have filed written descriptions of election judges and clerks attempting to influence citizens votes telling them how to vote shadowing voters as they cast ballots and by even voting for people
who did not know for whom they wanted to vote.
Although Im disgusted by these attacks I am not deterred. Our work in Houston and our vision for a fair and free election in every county of the nation continues" said Catherine Engelbrecht volunteer leader of King Street Patriots.
These lawsuits are exactly the kind of abusive disrespect for citizens that got our political leaders into trouble. We will not be intimidated by partisan attacks by the Democratic Party or by anyone" Engelbrecht said.
