(Stephenville, Tx) – The Erath County Tax Assessor Collectors Association is warning the public about a fake voter registration application mailed to several residents this week.

The Stephenville Empire Tribune reports three people went to the tax assessor’s office to inquire about peculiar mistakes regarding their name or address.  One resident said the registration application was addressed to her first name, but she’s registered to vote under a different name.  Another resident got an application addressed to her deceased husband’s deceased spouse.

The fake card uses the same permit number, address and bar code as the real Erath County voter applications. Erath County voter registrar Lana Stevens tells the Tribune “We have no idea where they’re getting the information from”.

The only noticeable difference between the fake application and the real application is a disclaimer at the bottom of the fake card stating, “Pol Ad Paid for by Engage Texas www.EngageTexas.org.”
