Howdy Tri County Members,

I am beyond exited we will be able to meet in person for our June mee;ng! It is hard to believe the last ;me we were able to meet in person was March and now we are heading into June. There may be some of you not ready to meet in person, and this is perfectly understandable. Everyone’s situa;on is different and each of us need to do what works for us and our family.

That being said, for anyone who would feel safer wearing a mask and does not have one, we have secured 50 disposable masks courtesy of Kathaleen Wall. They will be available at check-in and while they are NOT required by Golfcrest Country Club, the masks will be available for anyone who needs them.

The guidelines for mee;ng at Golfcrest will be as follows: tables will set up with no more than six people per table. You will not be able to add chairs to tables to sit together if all 6 seats are taken. There will be 7 tables of 6 chairs each, with a max capacity of 42. The meal will be served, and the menu is in the newsleUer.

We need your assistance if you are planning on staying for lunch as we MUST have a good count to turn in by noon on Friday, June 5th. Please RSVP as soon as possible as we need a minimum of 15 staying for lunch. Also, please remember if you RSVP for lunch and your plans change, either send someone in your place or understand you will receive an invoice for $15.00.

There are several run-offs noted for you in the newsleUer which really need your support. Governor AbboU has opened Early Vo;ng on June 29th to give everyone an extra week to vote. There is no vo;ng on July 4th or 5th and elec;on day is Tuesday, July 14th. We will not have a mee;ng in July to give everyone plenty of ;me to vote and assist candidates in any way they can.

We are postponing the Ac;ve Shooter Training scheduled for July and will have updated informa;on for you at our August 11th mee;ng with Glenn Hegar, Texas Comptroller. Make plans to join us as we head into the most cri;cal elec;ons of our ;me.

Much love,

Gaylyn DeVine, President

Brazoria, Galveston, Harris Counties

Federation News PROTECTING OUR ELECTIONS DURING COVID-19 AND BEYONDVoter Roll Accuracy, Vote Verification Critical to Ensuring Reliability, Veracity By Besa Martin, Chair NFRW Election Integrity Committee

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats are pushing to allow voters to vote by non-traditional means (mail, online, etc.) that raise questions about security. MONEY FOR STATES Recent legislation to combat the coronavirus impact originally included $4 billion to states with requirements to send ballots to every voter on the rolls, and to provide same-day voter registration and online voting. President Trump signed the final bill with those requirements taken out and reduced the amount sent to states to $400 million. In the spirit of the decentralized government that our founders envisioned, the money will be sent to the states without the Democrats’ conditions. But how will this money be spent by the states? DANGERS In this time of social distancing and mandated emergency election procedures, there is a huge opportunity for elections to be stolen through unscrupulous agents. As top experts have written, elections will be compromised by fraudulent absentee ballots where voter rolls are full of unverified persons or ineligible voters. The key to cheating in elections is to exploit the system by adding votes that are virtually anonymous. Consider that only last year, Los Angeles County agreed to correct the voter rolls after a lawsuit revealed there were approximately 1.5 million inactive/ineligible voters. Los Angeles County had not cleaned up the voter rolls in 20 years so the number of voters on the rolls was 112% of the county’s adult population. A journalist in Florida tested this theory eight years ago when she mailed in three registrations and received a voter registration for one of her assumed names, and recently, after checking the Palm Beach County voter rolls, she found that false name still on the rolls. Inaccurate rolls with fake or ineligible voters is a failure of election administrators in assuring valid election results. Other issues include ballots being stolen from mailboxes and voters being bullied by political operatives, which Hans von Spakovsky and J. Christian Adams recently recounted happening in Texas, Mississippi, and New York. Unfortunately these bullies often live in the same neighborhood with their victims and hold political power; therefore, the victims are reluctant to tell how they are exploited. The fraud and opportunity of elections being stolen is real. So what is the solution? PROTECTION AGAINST CORRUPT ELECTIONS Frontline experts have outlined the following procedures that would make our elections more reliable and accurate. The spending of the $400 million in the states should be for these items:

• Voter Roll Accuracy. The people included on voter rolls should be verified by election administrators. Voters should be eligible under the law.

• Vote Verification. Before sending out a ballot, the election administrators should mail out a vote request form to be signed by the registered voter. Then, after receiving a ballot, the election administrator should have a procedure in place to authenticate the mail-in ballot. This should

include a U.S. Postal Service stamp noting the date the ballot is mailed back and a signature of the registered voter.

Let’s protect our right to vote.

This month in Texas History: Texas Senate ratifies women's right to vote June 28th, 1919

On this day in 1919, the Texas Senate ratified the national amendment granting women the right to vote. Texas thus became the first Southern state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment and the ninth in the nation. Woman suffrage had been discussed in Texas as early as the Constitutional Convention of 1868. The short-lived Texas Equal Rights Association (1893-96) helped organize a suffrage movement. The Texas Equal Suffrage Association, a state chapter of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, led the fight for suffrage from 1913 on, and achieved one of its key goals when it won the right for women to vote in primary elections in 1918. Feelings ran strong on both sides of the issue; some women joined the Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. In June 1919 a woman suffrage amendment was sent to the states for approval. The Texas House passed the amendment on June 23 and the Texas Senate on June 28.
