Yesterday,
in a closed meeting of the Fort Bend County Elections
Commission commissioners accepted the resignation of the
county Election Administrator, J.R. Perez. According to a
member of the commission Perez was going to be asked to
tender his resignation anyway. Perez is another hero
election administrator who has lost his job because he has
taken a position against the use of paperless voting
machines. In this case Perez has argued that the continued
use of the county’s Hart Intercivic ESlate Direct
Recording Electronic voting machines would cause long lines
and disenfranchise voters during the states March 4 primary.
Perez, instead, argued for paper ballots. Thank you J.R.
Perez....
