Incumbent District Attorney gets less than 2% of vote in primary

Cherokee County, TX election officials and newspapers hide primary election results going back to 2010. (Source: Cherokee County election department)  They don't want the public to know, for example, that voters distrust their district attorney Elmer Beckworth so much that less than 500 people out of 26,552 registered voters actually vote for him during election cycles. Beckworth is running unopposed on the Democrat ticket for his 4th term and received 496 total votes. Elected officials such as the Cherokee County district attorney rely on horrible voter turnout and disenfranchised constituents to stay in office. It only takes a handful of supporters to discourage challengers through threat of small town exposition. They spend their time getting the dirt on one another, and holding it over their heads. Their own allies pretend to challenge them during elections to siphon votes from viable candidates and keep the status quo intact.  Cherokee County voters are to believe that Beckworth's former assistant prosecutor on the Republican side is actually challenging him in the Fall with the intent to replace the status quo.

 
The Klan of Cherokee County Democrats have dwindling numbers this year.

The official results are in, and a paltry 2% of the county's voters cast ballots in the Democratic primary. Whereas other counties report and post primary results immediately, Cherokee County's embarrassing election turnout is kept from public scrutiny. They focus on run offs, the general election, and results from elsewhere in the newspapers. They don't publish actual election night returns.

Only 560 people, including early voters, voted in the March 29, 2012 Democratic primary, or about 2% of registered Cherokee County voters. The Republican primaries had a 21% turnout in reporting precincts. (Source: Secretary of State of Texas)

Why hasn't the county election administrators posted the last two years of results? Because unopposed incumbents lose to even uncommitted categories within their constituent ballots. Yet by law and under zero moral authority these losers stay in office and continue to draw public salaries. This why blackmail and official oppression is so common and in your face. To remain unopposed and re-elected with a handful votes, incumbents and their enablers target their opposition in the court systems before the elections. They shit smear them in the newspapers and threaten them in front of their hand-picked grand juries. This is how some of the lowest forms of human debris remain in office for ten to twenty years or more. They spend their time going after challengers by threat or by court order, and in Cherokee County's judicial system, they let child molesters and jail-house snitches do their dirty work.

Voters have to look no further than Elmer Beckworth's solicitation of an incarcerated parole violator's testimony against death row inmate Richard Cobb, in exchange for dropping felony possession of a gun charges. And what amounts to letters of accommodations to the felon's Rusk, TX parole officer.
