US: Anti-trans Texans accused of electoral fraud in petition to overturn Equal Rights Ordinance

Anti-trans lobbyists in Houston, Texas have been accused of using illegal electoral methods in their attempts to overturn a recent pro-LGBT equality ordinance.

According to the TransAdvocate, signatures for a petition opposing the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) have been collected from people who are not registered voters. This renders such signatures illegitimate.

They pulled the same shenanigan here in California, and as a result, did not get the repeal of our Excellence in Education law on the ballot.  They are of course blaming a government conspiracy and not their own cupidity.
