[Peace-discuss] must see - stolen elections

[Arun Bhalla]

After a little research, it appears that these claims are from the 2002
election.  The three named Texans were all elected in Comal County with
18,181 votes.  

See <http://www.deeperwants.com/cul1/homeworlds/journal/archives/000602.html>.
Unfortunately the 2002 election results page has been taken down.
