{{Cquote|Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Steve [Sean] Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid. The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/23/voter-fraud-houston-tea-party-truethevote-texas/?test=latestnews</ref>}}

===Civilian Army===

[[Barack Obama]] has pledged to give the SEIU more power and strength, as well as the power to eventually "Paint the nation purple." Obama's hope for giving the SEIU more power as a civilian army, in his words, is because "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."<ref>[[Glenn Beck]].

The SEIU quickly jumped on the opportunity to try and take advantage of a poor 'security' policy by taking over security in general.<ref name=seiulocal6>Derek Erwin.
