SURE IT'S NOT YOUR GOOD-OLD GIRL SYSTEM SYLVIA?

By Juan Montoya
To say that the new Democratic Party chairwoman Sylvia Garza-Perez has a long row to hoe is putting it mildly.
Cameron County's Democratic party has earned itself the dubious reputation of fostering the longest-running voting fraud continuing criminal enterprise of record.
If you are going to run for a position in any jursidiction (JP, Constable, etc.) that encompasses Brownsville, be prepared to face between 300 to 700 fraudulent votes engineered by a corrupt vote-stuffing machine finessed to an art by a ring of politiqueras allied with the Hernandez clan orchestrated by none other than Cameron County Pct. 2 commissioner Ernie Hernandez and his wife Norma.

You know the Hernandezes Sylvia.

Fact is, you are intimately connected to them and demonstrated your alliance with them by siding with their daughter Erin H. Garcia in her run for Justice of the Peace 2-2 against political newcomer Yolanda Begum. During that election massive fraud was committed in plain sight of your party officials and in front of the elections office administrators and no one made a peep about it.

And you, the supposedly neutral party official who is to treat every candidate impartially, openly sided with the Hernandez camp to help them – by guile and fraud – steal the election and pervert the voters' wishes.

This is a changing of the guard? Or is it, as the Mexican saying goes, "La misma gata como Gilberto Hinojosa, pero revolcada?"  

If kidnapping the elderly from day care centers and coercing them to vote their way in the confines of a rental van, hauling in mentally-impaired adults and holding them captive while their ballots are filled, manipulating the mail-in votes of people who can't even read or suffer from dementia, and plain taking people's ballots and filling them in to suit your predilections is "encouraging the elderly to come out and vote" we have vastly different ideas of representative government.

Is it any wonder, as you stated "that young adults between 18 and 25 are the least likely to vote"?

No, we don't think so.

With Norma and Ernie sitting back and paying off the long list of politiqueras under their service for delivering the ballots which they then manipulate at will from their lair, do you really think that young people want to "be brought into the electoral process with the aim of learning the importance of serving the community, county and country"?

“The biggest difficulty is that this is a man’s playing field, and as a woman, I will have to work harder, be more diligent and results-oriented so that I can gain that respect," you told the local daily. "It’s going to be a tough job. But accountability and credibility will be key to this position and we can no longer have the same good-old-boy system."”

Well, no, not exactly. The bulk of the mail-in ballots are handled by a dozen or so female politiqueras who openly flaunt their deceptions upon the electorate and nullify the honest votes. You know that. In fact, you have a blood relation with one one the major offenders.

Yet, you say that you are "convinced that if precinct chairs were engaged more, there would not be a politiquera system."

Guess what? The politqueras generate more votes (albeit fraudulent ones) than any precinct chair could ever count.

Either you denounce the voter abuse that is endemic to your party and distance yourself from the voter abusers like the Hernandez family and the politiquera mnachine, or you can kiss all of your and Gilberto Hinojosa's handwringing about attracting people to the Democratic party goodbye.
