Tom DeLay To Be Investigated for Voter Fraud

[cagoldensun5050]

D.C.'s Political Report has learned that a claim that former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's (R-TX) voter registration in Virginia was illegal will be forwarded to Commonwealth Attorney S. Randolph Sengel (D-VA) for investigation. The complaint, originally lodged with the City of Alexandria's Voter Registrar, alleges that DeLay lacked domiciliary intent when he registered to vote and that he maintains legal residence in Texas. Similar to the legal action filed by the Texas Democratic Party, the complaint notes that DeLay is still registered to vote in Texas, has a Texas driver's licence and is receiving a Texas homestead exemption. Under Virginia law, DeLay has the burden of proof that he has changed his domicile. His Texas domicile is presumed to continue until he has a residence in the Virginia and the intention to remain there. DeLay's continuing presence in the Lone Star state is presumptive proof that he remains a Texas citizen.

1. Ha Ha

Tom just can't help himself. He's just a law breaker at heart! Bless that City of Alexandria's Voter Registrar who is actually doing the job and not letting this con man get away with it.

Why is Tom in such a hurry to get out of Texas? As much as I want to get rid of him from this state I perfectly understand Virginia not wanting him either.

2. Thanks for the info - go see what Juanita has to say about it

I posted this on my blog and then Juanita (brazosriver.com) picked it up and has more to say.

Like the fact that his wife Christine is not moving to Virginia with him. Which means there will still be a DeLay living 2.67 miles from my house.
