An elected official in charge of voter registration and tax collection in Texas hasn't swiped into her office for around four years according to an investigation by The Houston Chronicle.

Tax Assessor-Collector Ann Harris Bennett, who is responsible for the records of over 2.5 million voters, last accessed her office building in late 2020 according to county records that were seen by the newspaper. The Democrat, who assumed office in 2017 and is not seeking re-election in November, has oversight over voter registrations in Harris County, the most populous in Texas, which includes the city of Houston.

County records also show Bennett has only sent 18 emails from her work account so far this year, excluding approving staff absence requests, some of which were simply forwarding on other messages.  ...
