EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of Illegals Have Registered to Vote in Bexar County
Officials are confident new procedures will purge them from the rolls

Hundreds of illegal immigrants have registered to vote in Bexar County in recent years and dozens of them have actually cast ballots, canceling out the votes of U.S. citizens, 1200 WOAI news will report Thursday morning.
Figures obtained by 1200 WOAI news shows 303 illegals successfully registered to vote, and at least 41 cast ballots in various elections.
Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan confirmed the figures, but she says a new form of voter registration card, which requires people to swear they are citizens when they register, should help cut the problem, because people who vote illegally can be charged with perjury.
And the county has some sly ways to catch them.
"Maybe they have received a jury summons, the jury wheel relies on registered voters. They send a statement to the jury room that says they are not U.S. citizens and then we get that report immediately," Callanan says.
It's a hot issue in the Texas Legislature, where republicans are pushing a bill that would require voters to show some form of identification before voting.

For those of you who do not think voter fraud is occurring or not occurring in NM you are wrong. If it is happening next door in Texas, you can bet it is happening here.
Daid Iglesias did nothing more than have a press confrence.
Fine Rory. Lets see the evidence. Evidence. Not rumor, innuendo, or anecdotes. Evidence, you the thing required in a court of law. Please show us the evidence. I want clean elections as much as anyone. Put the people in jailed based on convictions in a court of law.
Should we just write it into the Patriot Act and let Bush decide? Maybe you Republicans will manage that as well as you have managed the war in Iraq.
You may not like what Palast has to say but the facts are on his side. I would put the factual information on Democracy Now against ANYTHING on Limbaugh, Hannity or OReilly. You may not like the opinions expressed on Democracy Now but they have their facts straight. Unlike the right wing noise machine we on the left prefer to deal in facts and then make our judgments. Shaping the "facts" to fit a political agenda is something the chickenhawks and neocons seem to have made the coin of their fetid realm.
Please just some evidence. The NM GOP says they have it. Do they? Or is it with those WMD in Iraq?
Yea, its like that.
