Citizen Calls Ms. M:
Ms. M contacted our office on August 3, 2010, very concerned. She wasapproached by a man wearing a lanyard with the name Joseph Garrett onit. The man insisted that she register even though she was alreadyregistered. He told her that he needed the application or he would notget paid. He also told her that she had to fill out the application becauseher registration expires at the end of the year and it would not getrenewed unless she took action. He also stated that the Tax Office
switching from postcard certificates to plastic certificates and unless shefilled out a new card she would not get her plastic certificate effective for2011.
Ms. M was uncomfortable with giving him any information since sheknows her registration certificate will get renewed at the beginning of next
year. She asked for identification but the deputy didnt have any otherthan the lanyard.

HCTO personnel Jason Ratcliff
On August 11, 2010, Jason Ratcliff, wearing a Houston Votes t-shirt,
working the corner across from the Tax Office approached theDirector of the Voter Department and two Outreach employees tosecure new voter applications. He explained that he had been onthe job for three days. He stated that even if the Tax Officepersonnel had a voter registration card, they could still complete an
application just to get a replacement card because he worked oncommission. He stated that he was paid $10 an hour, pluscommission, depending upon the number of voter registrationapplications he submitted. He also admitted that he was not avolunteer deputy because he had only been on the job for three
days. The Tax Office employees noticed that Mr. Ratcliff had notbeen tearing off the receipts and giving them to the applicants asrequired by state law.

Houston Votes direct interaction with
HCTO personnel Jonathan Hankins
On August 17, 2010, Jonathan Hankins arrived at theTax Office to be deputized to collect voter registrationapplications. Our trainer noticed that Hankins alreadyhad supplies, so she asked to view them to ensure that
he had the correct forms. She noticed that he hadalready collected 11 applications and had not given thereceipt to the applicants. Because he was not adeputy at the time that he collected them, the trainertook the applications from Mr. Hankins against hiswishes. He was supposed to turn them into HoustonVotes before turning them into the Tax Office.
