“I guess they mean it!”
With 97% of precincts reporting it appears that the “State Sovereignty Act” which was passed by the Texas State legislature and signed into law by Gov. Perry, has received overwhelming support from Texans. The current tally rests at 61% approve with 38% oppose and 1% yet to be counted from the suburban areas of Austin and Huston.
This referendum was the final test that the “Sovereignty Act” had to pass, and it appears to have done so with relative ease. Possibly owing to the wide spread in the official tally, various civil rights groups have already begun filing lawsuits claiming voting irregularities.
The heads of the ACLU and ACORN have filed complaints with the Texas Secretary of State’s office. Their official statement reads “The ACLU and ACORN are very concerned
with several alleged attempts by both individuals and in some cases state officials in preventing or discouraging select voting blocs from exercising their voting rights during this referendum. Needless to say we have filed an official complaint with the Texas Secretary of State and will do everything within the power of the law to ensure that every citizen of Texas has their vote counted; and to ensure honest voting practices are enforced. The voters of Texas cannot afford for such an important vote to be tainted with misconduct and the ACLU and ACORN will ensure that the people are heard.”
The Secretary of State issued a short comment ensuring that Texas election laws were adhered to, but that in the interest of transparency, a thorough investigation would be conducted into the alleged abuses by various state and private agencies.
Gov. Perry who has supported the bill since its initial proposal joined prominent law makers in congratulating the citizens of Texas for taking a stand for the Constitution of the United States and Texas.
President Obama will be giving a formal address to congress where he plans to lay out a “Plan of Reunification and Fidelity” to lawmakers. The President has stated that while the referendum in Texas appears to be conclusive, the administration is holding out hope that investigations into election irregularities in Texas will prove that the initiative does not have as wide spread support as initial voting tallies indicate.
