Bay Area Houston

It’s Scott Bowen. Again.

During the last CCISD Candidate Forum sponsored by the League City Regional Chamber of Commerce candidates were asked a very simple question: (video here starting at 02:04) “if you lose a close race, would you contest the results?”. Rebecca Lilley was clear with her answer: “Absolutely not. Whatever happens, happens, and I believe that that will be the final result.”

Scott Bowen echoed the Republic Party canned answer: “On contesting results, this time around Harris County and Galveston County are running our elections. I’m glad they are. At the same time, a few years ago, there was a Harris County result that actually was overturned due to problems with that election. I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again, and I don’t think it will, but I think you never say never. So we just hope for a clean and fair election.”

Fact Check:
After losing in the 2022 elections, Scott Bowen’s party sued 22 winning candidates claiming voter irregularities spearheaded by Mattress MAGAt Mac. They did not sue Harris County who actually conducted the election. They sued the actual candidates requiring them to raise money in their defense. After investigations by the courts as well as the Secretary of State, every single suit was dismissed.

The Secretary of State Investigation
According to the Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, a Republican: “The allegations of election fraud in the 2022 Harris County election are total bullshit.” That’s not her exact words buy you get the idea. You can read the entire 147 page report if you want but in short there was no fraud. There was no voter irregularities that would have changed any election. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. They couldn’t even find one single voter who was denied voting. Not one.

Texas Rangers Investigation
Even the Harris county District Attorney, Kim Ogg, had to admit no charges were being filed after an extensive investigation by the Texas Rangers. She had an embarrassing press conference claiming they filed a misdemeanor charge for an unrelated crime. It was eventually dismissed also. Some believed she should have been investigated herself for a baseless investigation.

CCISD Election 2022
This isn’t the first time Bowen’s party has done this. In fact the first time they used this tactic was in CCISD in 2022. Misty Dawson, a Bowen recruit, sued her opponent claiming voter irregularities after losing by 40 votes. She did’t sue the District who ran the election. She sued the winning candidate who had absolutely nothing to do with running the election. Bowen’s buddy caused a considerable amount of chaos concerning CCISD paying for the legal fees of the winning candidate. Even Bowen voted in favor of supporting this. Dawson eventually dropped her suit.

So expect Scott Bowen to whine like a little bitch if he loses.
