Texas Secretary of State Uncovers Election Audit Discrepancies in Harris County

A preliminary report from the Texas Secretary of State's office found multiple failures in Harris County's 2022 election administration, including a shortage of paper ballots, discrepancies in voter registration numbers, and the mailing of unreported mail-in ballots. While the report did not suggest that the outcome of any race was affected, it highlighted the county's inadequate training of election workers. The mishandling of the election has sparked legislative debates, leading to the dissolution of the county's elections administration office. Harris County is now suing the state to reverse the law, with oral arguments expected later this year.
