Yeah, she looks pretty darned suspicious. The key was discovering that her drivers license shows her maiden name as the middle name (as, apparently, Texas law required back when she got married in 1964), but her voter registration shows her born middle name as the middle name.

Sure, she was one of those weasly "female judges" who was able to maneuver through the problems. But I'm sure spotting "voter fraud" like this will keep plenty of other potential evil-doers from casting their votes in Texas elections.

Women need to report every problem the new Voter ID laws cause them in voting this November. Wimberley's local Democratic club wants to know of anyone, male or female, who suddenly find it hard to vote.
