Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens July 19, 2021
With House Democrats out of the state and no end in sight to their escape, the Texas Voter Confidence Act’s path to law appears uphill.While the special legislative session in Austin is still frozen after Democrats fled for Washington, D.C., to avoid voting on election integrity legislation, a newly filed bill would subject the 2020 election in Texas to a forensic audit.
Dubbed the “Texas Voter Confidence Act,” House Bill 241 by State Rep. Steve Toth (R–The Woodlands) would authorize the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the House to select an independent third party to conduct an election audit. The forensic audit would focus on the votes cast in the 13 most populous counties in Texas.
Those counties would include Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Tarrant, Travis, Collin, Denton, Hidalgo, Fort Bend, El Paso, Montgomery, Williamson, and Cameron.
“We need a forensic audit to uncover all the voter fraud,” said Toth.
