You friggin retard, you can't even read your own article. The coupons were being offered by an organization not affiliated with a candidate, and it doesn't even mention which candidate it was or which party they are in. Besides, just because some crazy group supports a candidate doesn't mean the candidate supports them. The neo-Nazis and KKK support the Republican party, but that doesn't mean most Republicans support them.Myth: Democrat candidates in Houston offered grocery coupons to minorities in return for their votes.?
Sounds like the kind of things they have always done. I remember them voting dead people in the 60's and they still buy votes with crack cocaine and liquor.. demoncrats are sick and demented.
it is true and the voters went to early voting and then asked for their coupons whcich did not exist.....so no coupons were issued.

ALIEF - On Tuesday, the Talmadge Heflin Campaign was made aware of an operation in the Vietnamese community where voters were offered a discounted lunch or free groceries in exchange for their vote.





Radio ads purchased by the Vietnamese Community of Houston and Vicinity were being run on local radio station “Little Saigon” (1520 AM and 880 AM). The ads, recorded in Vietnamese, told listeners they would receive a payment coupon after voting at the Lac Hong Square early voting location. The coupon’s benefits ranged from $5 dollars off lunch or groceries at Hong Kong Mall to a free financial planning session valued at $500.





Voters reported the coupons being handed out by election officials after they cast their ballots. According to reports, election officials, obviously unaware of the radio ads, were manipulated into believing the “giveaway” was legal. The coupons are only valid during the early voting period (October 23 to November 3) which is additional evidence of an attempt to unduly influence the election process. Furthermore, many of the coupons are offerings from corporations and one federally regulated financial institution.





Both of these types of businesses are prohibited by the Texas Election Code and the Federal Election Commission from engaging in political activity. The Vietnamese Community of Houston and Vicinity, who sponsored the radio ads and whose logo is affixed to the coupons, is on record as supporting State Representative Hubert Vo, who is also Vietnamese.
