Sponsored by El Paso State Senator Paul Rodriguez SB832 became law. As a result 75,000 people were disenfranchised from voting in the water district and the process for voting registration has become quite onerous. The supply and control of water in this region is quickly coming under the control of just a few families and their attorneys thanks to Rodriguez doing this favor for U.S. Representative Silvestre Reyes and his brother, Jesus "Chuy" Reyes, General Manager of the El Paso County Water Improvement District.
Note also that "voters" are asked to designate in advance the polling
station where they plan to vote. This application was only recently
sent out and the last day to register is April 12th. If the EPWID then determines that applicants have a right to vote, they will
send them a registration card. The voter then needs to bring the EPWID
registration card plus an identification card approved by the Secretary of
State in order to vote. There are exactly two early voting stations. One of
those stations is the EPWID main office itself where former Sheriff and now EPWID General Manager, Chuy Reyes, is sure to be looming.
Below is the official registration information and application. Note the warning about perjury or giving false information inserted before the signature of the applicant.
The same is true for other organizations. Banks, businesses and corporations don't allow us to vote on their decisions unless we are stockholders in the business. Why can't we vote in their elections and have a say in the business just because we don't own stock or pay into their operations. Just because I invest my money on lottery tickets while others buy stock and ownership of a business why am I deprived to vote?
