Strange goings-on in Waller County, TX
You may remember them for the attempted vote suppression of college students a while back.

Okay, I wanna tell you guys about something damn weird.

Waller County is right up the road from me. Waller is battleground county with a sizeable African American population due to a major black university in its boundaries.

Out of the clear blue, voters in Waller county got a letter from the voter registrar. Click the little one to see the big one.

And inside was legal-sized sheet of paper dated May 11, 2009. With the stated purpose of "to bring our voter registration list up to date we would appreciate your cooperation with the following request."

The first request is for your name.

Now, you would think they could get that off the front of the envelope, but apparently there's a shocking shortage of rocket scientists at the Waller County Voter Registrars Office.

There follows 6 questions:

2. A large part of the population is college students.
Waller county election officials have tried to mess with them before.

3. Yep. Prairie View A&M
which is the black A&M school in the Texas State system, from the days of separate but equal.

Texas Southern U. in Houston is the black university equivalent of the University of Texas.
Prairie View is the equivalent of Texas A&M in College Station.

The college students marched down the road before to register to vote in the 2008 election.

4. I have worked with a few Prairie View A&M graduates.
They were all very bright, focused, effective and decent people. The school must be doing something right.

One of these people told me that the students were hassled by some of the locals.
