ProPublica reports that the data handed to the FBI in Maricopa County came from a partisan, privately run audit and may be flawed, unlike Fulton County’s seized ballots; experts warn that relying on reportedly invalid digital records could undermine the investigation, and the original ballots were destroyed after two years while the Senate stored the audit data.
The Texas Secretary of State has released preliminary findings from an audit of Harris County's November 2022 election, revealing multiple failures and violations of election law. The audit identified problems with voter registration data, inadequate supplies at polling places, equipment issues, and incomplete paperwork. It also found that the county's voter registration system included more voters than reported, and thousands of mail ballots were sent but not reported to the state. The method for distributing ballot paper did not comply with state law, leading to disruptions in the voting process. The Secretary of State's office is working with the county clerk and tax assessor-collector to address these issues, as legislation abolished the elections administration office in Harris County.
