“Our goal is to protect every vote and ensure transparency throughout the entire election process.” — Dallas County Elections Official
ELECTION INTEGRITY: The OAG has been aware of limited failed tests of voting machines in Dallas County and has been on the ground investigating these issues alongside the Secretary of State’s office. Dallas County voters must have complete assurance that their voting machines will work properly when early voting begins. They deserve their questions to be answered with clarity. The DCRP’s press release on this issue is premature and contains several inaccuracies. My office is continuing to investigate this issue. A report from the Secretary of State’s office is forthcoming. Although the DCRP’s press release suggests otherwise, the truth is that all parties involved have made significant progress toward resolving all outstanding issues. My office has been working around the clock to uphold the integrity of Texas elections. There is nothing more important than protecting every legal vote from election fraud or interference. I want to be crystal clear that my authority over many of these listed points is limited and not to the scope that DCRP would like for it to be. Anything I can legally do to protect your vote, you have my full assurance I will do. Safe and secure elections is my absolute top priority. – Attorney General Paxton
Yesterday’s Dallas Morning News. This does nothing to inject confidence in a widely distrusted system. Tarrant County reports ballots physically changed by machines. Confidence is low.
Dallas County Elections Administrator apologizes for day 1 of early voting: “Not our finest day.” He’s not a lawyer, but he plays one on TV, claiming, “There is no legal remedy.” We’ll have to see about that. I’m a lawyer who knows there are remedies when rights are violated.
