Election Law Loophole
Tarrant voters registered to federal office building | Texas Watchdog

FORT WORTH — Nine people in Tarrant County live communally in a 539,000-square foot cinderblock compound owned by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Drug Enforcement Administration, if their voter registrations are to be believed.
It is the DEAs presence at Alliance Airport at 2300 Horizon Drive and it is most certainly not a residence.Still, at least three of the nine, who registered to vote in a period between February 2002 and August of last year, cast ballots in 2008 despite the fact that property listings suggest they live in other parts and precincts of Tarrant and, in one case, neighboring Denton County.
They vote in precinct 3417 and can affect the winners and losers in state representative, city council, county commissioner, county constables and a number of other races. Even as they live in another precinct with different ballot choices.
The potential for such registrations to affect elections is substantial.
