No need to go all Punisher on your target (sorry, Marvel's wiki was down). Just get an affidavit stating that you are a "credible person" (you are a credible person, aren't you?) and submit it to a grand jury. The grand jury meets in secret and has the power to charge suspects with crimes which might otherwise have been overlooked by law enforcement.
In this instance, a man in Dripping Springs brought up the point that many of our elected law makers are not present when voting occurs and that they have others vote for them. He believes, as do I, that this violates a couple laws (impersonating a public servant and tampering with a government record). After numerous attempts to have it investigated by law enforcement and the DA, another lawyer mentioned the law about submitting the case to the grand jury.
In short, the grand jury found that no laws were broken. I'm guessing that is probably due to how common the practice is (voting for someone not present) and/or that they interpreted the actions as not violating the intent of those laws... ah well, at least it shed some light on the law so that the lawmakers can plug it up before it's used again. :-)
