Election officials say the discovery of 10,000 missing votes is a sign that the checks and balances are working. However, the political parties see things a bit differently.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- There are calls for the Harris County elections administrator to resign after the discovery of 10,000 mail-in ballots that were not properly uploaded into the voting system on election night.
County officials say the discovery of the mischaracterized votes is a sign that the checks and balances are working. However, the political parties see things a bit differently. Over the weekend, Elections Administrator Isabel Longoria's office said that 10,000 mail-in ballots were not added to the unofficial count on Primary Election night.According to Longoria, 6,000 of those votes were cast by Democrats, and 4,000 were from Republican voters.
County election officials said the oversight happened between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning,"as the political parties that make up the Central County Committee were reviewing the ballots." Longoria's office added that while the votes were scanned into the tabulation computer, they were not transferred and counted as part of the unofficial final results.
