Bay Area Houston

The voter integrity committee of the Harris County Republican Party is probably jumping on this like Donald Trump on a porn star.

Ok, hear me out. Prior to the election the Houston Chronicle questioned the residency of 7 candidates running in the Houston city elections, including Willie Ray Davis candidate for At-Large 2. Davis won in the runoff. According to the article the City only performs an initial check to verify the candidate put a city of Houston address on the application, they are registered to vote, and have not been convicted of a felony. Maybe someone needs to check a bit deeper.

Davis lists his address on his voter registration as 4734 Arbilla Ln Houston Texas 77021. That property is a single family residence owned by Lott Paul Wesley Sr. But here is where it gets interesting and disturbing. According to the Brazoria County Appraisal District Willie Ray Davis owns a $591,000 home at 3531 BENITO DR IOWA COLONY, TX. He claims a homestead exemption as well as a Disabled Veteran exemption. (Thank you for your service)

So here is the potential issue that the voter integrity committee is chowing down on. If this is the same Willie Ray Davis then he may have voted illegally. According to Texas law a candidate must live in the district for at least 12 months prior to the election and I believe if you take a homestead exemption on your home in Iowa Colony then that address is where you live. (it makes sense) So Willie Ray Davis lived out of the city of Houston.

And….if he registered to vote in Harris County using someone else’s address isn’t that a violation of voter integrity? And….if he voted in the City elections isn’t that voter fraud? And….if he didn’t vote in the City elections isn’t that a confirmation that he knew he would be committing voter fraud? If he claims residency in the City of Houston for the election then he can’t take a homestead exemption. That would be against the law and a lie. Willie Ray Davis is a pastor and I am sure he believes in Thou Shall Not Lie commandment.

There are a lot of IFs here and maybe this is a different Willie Ray Davis. So maybe someone should look a bit deeper on this. I will forward this to the voter integrity committee of the Harris County Republican Party and wait patiently for a response.
