RO
GER ORTIZ HAS TURNED BLIND EYE TO HERNANDEZ FAMILY ELECTION ABUSES, PAYS LIP SERVICE TO LEGALITY



By Juan Montoya

The convoy of rented vans appeared unannounced at the Santa Fe Adult Day Care facility on Tuesday and a politiquera announced that they were there to take the clients to vote.

No one in management – who had expressly banned the Hernandezs from campaigning or hauling their elderly to vote – was conveniently there at the time. The elderly were herded into the vans by the politiqueros working for Erin Hernandez Garcia and her mother Norma, wife of Cameron County Pct. 2 commissioner Ernie Hernandez, notorioud for "harvesting" the votes of the elderly and the infirm.

They drove the group to the main court6house and gave them marked sample ballots indicating the three candidates they were to vote for: Erin Hernandez Garcia for J.P. 2-2, Carlos Masso for Distict Attorney, and Abel Gomez for Constable, Pct. 2

"I told them I wanted to vote for Yolanda Begum," the woman said. "They insisted that I vote according to the yellow paper (sample ballot) they gave us.

Although the woman does not suffer from an incapacity and is not disabled, the driver would not allow her to alight the vehicle and insisted she vote under his gaze. Instead, the elections judge gave the driver the required number of ballots for the elderly in the van and waited outside in the sidewalk in front of the elections office until they were filled out.

The woman said she filled in her vote and the driver took her ballot. Whether he included hers along with the rest is unknown.

For three days Norma Hernandez and her band of politiqueros and politiqueras have been driving vans full of elderly and the disabled from day care centers in town and herded them to early voting polling places where they assisted them to cast their votes – often under the disbelieving eyes of passersby, attorneys and other candidates – and in front of the nose of Cameron County Elections Administrator Roger Ortiz and polling-place election judges.

In some places, such as the Centro Comunitario in Cameron Park, a Hernandez campaign worker will drive the rented van up to the entrance of the building, keep his charges in the van and call out loud that he has brought them all in to vote for Erin, Masso and Gomez.

At the main courthouse and at the Cristo Rey Catholic Church, visitors to the courthouse watched on in amazement as some obviously disabled people stayed in the vans as the driver went in to have the poll workers bring out ballots and then he assisted them in darkening the ovals next to the candidates marked out in the sample ballots.

In many cases, the elderly, like the woman described above, were not allowed to get off the van even though they could walk unassisted.

"This is incredible," said a visitor to the main courthouse. "I have heard stories about this happening, but I would have never in my life believed that this could actually happen out in the open. These poor people couldn't even hold a pencil. They just did as they were told by the driver."

It's not like Ortiz didn't know. We know that he has received at least a half-dozen reports of these irregularities and outright voter abuse from these three sites, but they have continued nonetheless.

"The Hernandez people act like they own the county polling sites," said a resident living next to the Cristo Rey voting site. "I actually saw them standing next to the door at the polling site handing out marked sample ballots.

Now he has told the local newspaper whose logo is only half a sun, that he had requested state inspectors to keep an eye on the "acrimonious" campaigner from both sides. This amounts to the same thing as locking the gate after the horses have left. For three days out of five, he has allowed the Hernandez to basically coerce, cajole and threaten their way to steal the election as he has stood watching idly by. And where are these inspectors? This morning (Thursday) they were nowhere to be seen. Was Roger merely buying time para taparle el ojo al macho?

At the main courthouse, on Tuesday, Norma Hernandez carried a case of water bottles to the elections office for the polling place workers. The, standing at the curb, she could be heard telling the elderly arriving in the vans to vote for her daughter Erin.

"We could hear her across the street," said a paralegal who works in one of the legal offices. "But she was too far away for anyone to take a photograph to prove it."

This type of brazen interference in the electoral process and blatant disregard for the law has happened right in front of the eyes of Ortiz and the election judges at the early voting polling places. Instead of calling attention to the perpetrators, they seem content to watch all this happen right before their eyes. Who can the other candidates call to report this besides Roger?"

The apparent disregard for observing the law and thumbing their noses at their opponents might be because Erin is the daughter of Commissioner Ernie Hernandez and Norma Hernandez is his wife. Ortiz, a county employee, must deal with him and has to count on him for support in his budget and even his employment. Those that have crossed him know that Ernie never forgets and will find a way to make them pay if he doesn't get his way. Wonder why Javier Hernandez and Ismael Tapia, both county employees, have not endorsed anyone in this race even though they have made it clear they support Begum? Ernie Hernandez's reach is that long.

Additionally, the election administrator's wife Elvira works under Cameron County District Clerk Aurora De La Garza and also comes under the commissioners court. District Attorney Armando Villalobos, who is supposed to be investigating the employment of Ernie Hernandez's brother-in-law Roberto Cadriel for being hired in violation of the county Civil Service policies, has so far shown little interest in prosecuting this brazen violation of election law.

Villalobos, of course, has problems of his own. He is under indictment for bribing and taking kickbacks in relation to the Abel Limas racketeering case.

"Who do you go to complain in this case?" asked a campaign worker for one of the opponents' campaign workers. "It's happening in plain sight and no one is moving a finger to put a stop to it. This election is being stolen right in front of everyone's eyes."

  2. When a community such as Brownsville lives & dies by corruption, who is to say whose corruption is worse? Montoya should know that better than most, having worked on corrupt Conrado Cantu's winning campaign for sheriff a few horrible years back. This diseased tapeworm he presents now is lauaghbale in the face of Juan's own "politiquera" history. Erin Hernandez is no savior, but she is playing the game Juan has played himself. It's a lousy field, but it's the same one all candidates have played for the past three decades. Hispanics know a different politics, so to stack it up against what the rest of the US plays is fallacy. The local ground is rotten, soiled so deep that it would take a giant shovel to get to honest ground. No, this article does not accomplish anything other than serve Montoya's client (candidate). He should be ashamed, for it is his people - the ones he arrogantly says he fights for - taking it up the wazoo. A study of the local culture would easily yield my thesis: Browntown's corruption is feeding on itself one more time.

    2. Exactly like all these other supporters of Masso, Erin and Gomez, it doesn't matter what the content of the discussion is, most times LIKE NOW THEY DON'T EVEN address the issue, just the MESSENGER and by that means all they ever do is ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT those messengers.

      TYPICAL!

      Look at Masso he has zero to stand on of his own merit a merit-less candidate who's only hope is to TRY and chop down the opposition enough so that he's left standing taller in the end, good luck with that, as he picked a mighty large tree to try and chop down in Luis.

      What has MASSO ever done...NOTHING, that's what not a thing...OH yeah wait other than protecting his ILLEGAL GAMBLING INTERESTS throughout Willacy and Cameron Counties, and hand delivering 23 million TAX DOLLARS, your tax dollars to his EQUALLY CORRUPT friends in the Bridge-to-Nowhere debacle, other than that the man has done NOTHING to better the communities in which he was entrusted to do so in, the only impact he is capable of making is that OF A NEGATIVE ONE, a true detriment to society in every way.

      So Mr. Dietrich what say you about the blatant EXPLOITATION OF THE ELDERLY and MENTALLY HANDICAPPED by these crooks of candidates ? Other than "all candidates have played for the past three decades" we're talking about right now today this CURRENT ROUND of VOTER ABUSE by these candidates MASSO, ERIN and GOMEZ ?? Anything-Anything ??

    3. You, sir, are writing about a symptom, while I note a disease. Yes, this is the height of barbarism. But can you say that it is an isolated incident that would draw shock? I say, "No, you cannot." It is part & parcel of what has come down the pike seemingly forever. Non-producer residents such as Juan Montoya and Jerry McHale laugh all of this of at day's end over a few beers paid for by their advertising clients. Still, they are nothing more than farmworkers ("piscadores") who will move onto something else (a new crop) after this political season. The problem is much bigger than the contributions of Erin Hernandez and her ilk. By far. To fix the culture in town you would have to admit that the rotten apples are not many and not just one or two or three. The Brownsville news media is to blame, as well, as is the district attorney's office. No prosecution means a continuation of the mess. I blame the Mexico angle, of course. Mexicans dominate the local landscape and they have decided to play politics at the lowest level, like retards. But, then, looking inward never has been a personalty trait in this town. Sadly, the one most cherish is the one that says something will be obtained for nothing, hence the high number of social welfare recipients. No, don't drop the hammer on Erin Hernandez unless you wish to nail everybody else in this sick bordertown.

  3. Roger Ortiz is a pawn of the Dumbokratic Party and has shown no willingness to change the corrupt voting system....because both he and his wife are employed by that system. He didn't start the corrupt system, but he has bowed to it and continues to support corruption by inaction. He plays to the system and obviously Roger feels it is easier to "go with the flow" than exercise any leadership. Or, he is just too ignorant to visualise anything but corruption; a man of habit with no vision and no initiative. Poor Roger....he's just doing what he is told by the Dumbokrats in office....Aurora de la Garza and Ernie Hernandez.

  4. So we have a lady being forced into a van as she claims - we have no name and no police report - yes it seems Montoya is selling another $21.4 million dollar bridge to the saps willing to buy. If this lady is real the driver of the van should have been arrested. there is a reason no name is given - she does not exist. This from a man who according to sworn testimoney helped to conseal unreported campaign donations in the last BISD election. No one believes anything Montoya reports. Begum must be paying big

    2. Understood, Bobby. Could you inform us of who you are supporting and why you feel they deserve the public's support?

      Just curious.

  5. Juan "El Politiquero" Montoya appears to be just as dirty as the people he writes about. Drunk. Deadbeat dad. What's he bitching about? Clean your own house before you throw shit at others'. Baboso. Get a job. Feed your kids so that taxpayers don't have to. Your priorities are misplaced, buey. one's children comes first. Have you bought their school clothes and supplies yet, Juan? Or are you going to have the community chip-in the money you should be providing. Erin is not asking for the community's financial aid, like you, bozo.

  7. Ok so what you are saying is that if the allegations come from a dead beat good for nothing of a person that the allegations should not be taken care of by the proper authorities? If the allegations are fully documented and taken to the proper authorities (not in Brownsville or Cameron County for that matter)by a person that is NOT a politician and has no long dirty tail then and only then these people are guilty as charged? Just asking.

  8. Its so funny how Jim and Montoya cry Fraud when the Hernandez's either work the mail or take people in to vote. People I might have you MAKE their own choice to get a vehicle to go vote. But yet when Mrs Begum does it...it is perfect legal and ligit. Jim & Montoya are truly scum to twist it everything.

  10. @ Mr, Noah Dietrich

    It is called a blog, write one so you can preach to the unwashed masses at your heart's content.

    Unless you have already had a blog and decided to shut it down?

    Show us how easy it is to expose corruption rather than criticize those that are unafraid to expose the festering corruption in Cameron County.

    1. Exposing it never has been part of the problem. That's been the easiest thing to do in Brownsville. One more time: It is the culture of accepted corruption that you must eradicate. And it isn't even about fear of doing it. You miss the point, or cannot comprehend it. I don't have a blog, no. Perhaps because I have other things to do at the moment. Maybe one of these days. I will tell you that most Bloggers rarely complete the crusader equation; that is, they are no enforcers, law enforcement or even sincere. Blogging, and there are millions of blogs, serves one purpose, at least when it's on the up & up and not created to push dogma or defend criminals: inform. The rest is up to those in charge. In Brownsville (and most of the RGV), sometimes that's not enough. And that's the tragedy. A few have dominated the many, treating the population with all the propriety of a coonhound.

    2. If you had a blog, I probably would read it, but only if I had nothing else to do. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!

  11. What i don't get here is, why not give all this information on this blog as many seem to know what is going on to the Texas Feds or some agency outside the southern part of Texas (Austin) about the voter fraud as you all list pictures, stories, etc., and stop this voter fraud. It sees like bitching on blogs is more of a euphoria for ones own than making things right with the right connection. My answer to that is probably any agency outside of Cameron County wouldn't even care. In their eyes is; if Mexicans want to behave like this, than fuck them.

  13. Erasmo, get out of this blog with your fake accounts, you don't live or care for brownsville only for the people that pay you, it is so disturbing that a stupid fat ass is justifying blatant desregard to anything we as americans hold sacred, you bastard.
