The Harris County Election Administrator resigned after losing thousands of votes in a primary election. The election administrator in Texas' most populous county submitted her resignation Tuesday after problems with last week's primary, including about 10,000 mail ballots that weren't counted the day of the election. The elections administrator for Harris County resigned during the meeting of the county commissioners. She took responsibility for the problems that occurred during the election in Harris County, where Houston is located. The buck stops with me to address these issues and conduct elections on behalf of the voters. She said that she didn't meet her own standards. During a meeting which became contentious as some officials and residents asked that she either resign or be fired and some echoed the false and disproven claims made by former President Donald Trump about a stolen 2020 election, she resigned. Our freedom is being taken from us. Our rights for a free and fair election are being taken away. We are not going to be silent anymore. We are no longer going to be missing nice guys. We have had it. "We are fighting, we have been an election worker for years," said Hablinski. Some election judges said they dealt with a variety of problems, including long lines because voting machines weren't working and long waits to get help from technical support. There were 10,000 ballots that weren't counted because of an oversight. There were 6,000 Democratic and 4,000 Republican votes added to the final tally. The new votes did not change the outcome of any races. The count took 30 hours to complete. The problems with last week's election were unacceptable, according to the top elected official in Harris County. The local office that runs and manages elections had a change of leadership before Longoria offered her resignation. We have no evidence to suggest that the full count once certified is not accurate, because several aspects of this election were problematic. She said that they don't need to go there because of the trust that is lost in the electoral system. A woman in the audience yelled "There is no trust" as Hidalgo spoke. The March 1 primary was the first election under new voting laws in Texas. Thousands of mail ballots were rejected because they didn't have the required identification. The new voting laws and rhetoric related to distrust have become a distraction to conversations about how to make the voting process better. It doesn't excuse the mistakes that were made. She said that to ignore the culture of fear and lies that lead to political violence and an attack on our democracy is to miss a crucial variable. The first time many of the county's electorate used new voting machines that had paper ballots was last week's election. The number of races was so large that it stretched each voter's paper ballot to two pages, creating issues with ballots getting stuck as they were inserted into the machines. Many of her staff were forced to work for 24 hours straight or longer so that votes could be counted. The new machines were first used last year during an election with less turnout, and officials said not enough was done to educate the public about them. The majority Democrat Commissioners court created Longoria's office in July 2020. The county clerk and tax-assessor collector used to do election related duties. Before he was hired, he did not have a lot of experience running elections. Jack Cagle, a Republican county commissioner, said he doesn't want Longoria replaced but for her duties to go back to the county clerk and tax-assessor collector. Cagle said that they can get us ready for the big game when it happens or they can blame Trump. There is a You can follow Juan A. Lozano on social media.
