Glenn Smith reports on two seemingly coincidental events in Houston: a mysterious fire destroys all of the voting machines in Harris County in what is being investigated as arson; and a well-funded right wing group (TrueTheVote) emerges, making unfounded allegations of widespread voter fraud. A well-produced video on the group’s website shows white people talking patriotically about the need for a million vigilantes to suppress illegal votes. All this in the face of changing demographics that make the Houston vote critical to the possible election of Democrat Bill White as governor.
