House Lawmakers Examine Persistent Issues Plaguing Texas Elections
Audits reviewed during the hearing suggest that Texas still has a way to go before elections are trustworthy.
The Secretary of State’s office presented findings from its most recent round of audits. After every election cycle, the trends are clear across all audited counties: improve documentation protocols.
SOS Elections Director Christina Adkins stressed to House members that paperwork at polling locations must be completed accurately, and chain of custody needs attention because it tells the story of how an election is conducted.
While all of the audited counties received attention, Harris County, the largest in the state and one of the counties audited by the SOS office, dominated the discussion, given the impact the county can have on statewide results.
