Harris County Election Official Facing Corruption Charges

News summary

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, alongside the Texas Rangers, will announce criminal corruption charges against a county election official related to the November 2022 Harris County elections. The charges, which involve theft and tampering with government documents, follow a prolonged investigation prompted by state leaders, including Governor Greg Abbott, due to multiple election day issues such as ballot paper shortages and equipment malfunctions. An audit by the Texas Secretary of State and subsequent legal challenges by Republican candidates spotlighted these failures, leading to calls for a new election in certain races. The press conference is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Criminal Justice Center in Houston. The findings and details of the investigation will be closely watched, as they mark a significant development in electoral oversight and accountability in the region.
