Gov. Abbott calls for an investigation into the 2022 elections in Harris County.
Harris County, still dealing with a request for documentation on how it ran its 2018 midterms, now faces a new investigation for the just-completed 2022 elections thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott who singled out this county once again calling for a criminal investigation into the process.
"I'm calling on the Secretary of State, the Attorney General's Office, and the Texas Rangers to initiate investigations into allegations of improprieties in the way that the 2022 elections were conducted in Harris County. The allegations of election improprieties in our state's largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct. Voters in Harris County deserve to know what happened. Integrity in the election process is essential.
Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum said he will have a post elections report and issued a statement that: Reactions to Abbott's announcement was swift with support from Republicans and criticism from Democrats and more liberal groups."This is the worst election day ever by a major county election's department that I've seen in my lifetime! Specific polls were apparently given too few ballots to begin with, and repeated requests by presiding judges and political party representatives, etc, were denied for over half a day.
