New accusations surfaced Tuesday about hundreds of Dallas County mail-in ballots set aside by a judge over questions about voter fraud. Counting of votes from the 776 ballots began Monday but did not include complete signature authentication, according to election officials and campaign people watching the process. “Yesterday’s work, we don’t know if those were true and authentic,” said Jose Plata, an observer for City Councilwoman Monica Alonzo’s campaign. “If I was a judge I’d be very upset.”
Plata is a former Dallas County elected official himself, serving from 1995 to 2001 as a Dallas Independent School District Trustee.
“Our problem with these ballots is that someone forged names. They forged it on the ballot. They forged it on the application,” Plata said.
Dallas County Election Supervisor Toni Pippins-Poole said officials also saw a flood of mail-in ballots requested by the same person who signed the return envelope as assisting the person who cast the votes.
