From delayed openings to reports of machines malfunctioning and paper shortages, Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum said officials will be assessing all those issues once they're done tabulating election results.
Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum said officials will be assessing all those issues once they're done tabulating election results. Harris County provisional votes cast after 7 p.m. won't be counted, Texas Supreme Court saysHarris County has approximately 1,200 to 1,400 mail-in ballots left to process, along with an unknown number of emergency slot ballots and provisional ballots to count as well.
More than 1 million voters in Harris County cast their ballots at 782 locations Tuesday. Several locations experienced issues including delayed openings, machines malfunctioning, and paper shortages. "We started receiving calls for ballot paper at 7:30 a.m.," Tatum said. "So, for me, I have to assess exactly what was going on at those polling places that they felt they needed paper when the polls opened 30 minutes before. So, I’m not sure what we were seeing, so I need to really assess what’s going on." Election night did not turn out the way many pundits expected. Quanell x and Charles Adams break down what happened locally and across the state in FOX Faceoff.
When pressed why asking for more supplies was not considered a simple request, Tatum responded with this. "Because we have a finite amount of resources related to any technical issues that may occur at a polling place. I have a polling location that we know didn’t open on time because it had some sort of technical issues. If I'm sending a technician somewhere to deliver the paper, that may be needed later in the day, then that technician isn’t on-site, managing that machine that’s going down.
