When Texas State Senator Carol Alvarado gained the national media spotlight by wearing a back brace and catheter to stall the Texas Election Integrity bill, I thought it odd. Why would she go to all that trouble to stop legislation that makes it HARDER to harvest mailed ballots?
So I decided to dig through my “needs further research
someday” file – documents I’ve come across over the years that stood out as
obviously different from the norm, but didn’t fit into the investigation at
the time.
I didn’t have to dig very deep to find a batch of ballot by
mail applications I had clipped together a few years ago.
What made these applications fishy?
These were not the typical handwritten applications mailed
in by individual voters.
Instead, these were pre-printed, sent in boxes containing
multiple completed applications, and delivered by courier to the Harris County
Clerk on February 15th and 19th of 2013.

Who sent both boxes of completed ballot by mail applications?
Carol Alvarado’s Campaign Office !

That’s odd … because Carol Alvarado’s campaign financial reports do not show any payments to “Transnet Delivery Solutions,” the courier
service used. Could that have been a simple oversight? TWICE?
So….what election was being held in Harris County at that
time?
March 2, 2013 Special Runoff Election for State Senate District 6.
Which two candidates were involved in that runoff?
I bet you can guess ONE….
Carol Alvarado and Sylvia R. Garcia.
Well….knowing this….do you think Senator Carol Alvarado
filibustered to PROTECT voters or BALLOT HARVESTERS?
Note: The statute of limitations has passed on every possible violation mentioned above.
