When it comes to credentials, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said Clifford Tatum's resume shows that he's the man for the job.
Harris County Election Administrator Isabel Longoria has resigned amid issues with counting mail-in ballots came to light over the weekend.
"So, the Elections Administrator's Office does everything you can think of related to an election," Stevens explained."And so we handle voter registration, vote by mail, we handle getting election equipment, finding voting locations, basically everything you can think of, A to Z, related to elections."
Prior to 2020, those jobs were split between the Harris County Clerk's Office and Tax Assessor-Collector. While Tatum isn't expected to start until at least next month, Stevens said the county is already hard at work on midterms, and ensuring the election process is by the book. "We have lots of projects that lead up to November, making sure that everything is buttoned up -- meaning that we have our elections workers staffed, trained," Stevens said."Trained especially on making sure that voters are coming through the process, having a good experience, but also having the correct experience that they have when they go vote."
