One county employee was charged in the probe, however, after investigators said he failed to make sure polling locations had enough ballots.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg addresses the media at the Criminal Justice Center in Houston on Tuesday. Investigators with the Texas Rangers and Ogg's office said they found no evidence of efforts to sway the November 2022 elections in Harris County .Investigators with the Texas Rangers and the Harris County District Attorney’s office found no evidence of attempts to sway the county’s November 2022 election, officials said Tuesday.
A criminal probe initiated by Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg into irregularities around the 2022 election found no evidence of a campaign to suppress voter turnout or influence the election’s outcome, officials said Tuesday. Those shortages came about, she said, because an election official in charge of making sure each polling place had enough paper ballots failed to do so because he was working two full-time jobs at the same time.
Blackburn “not only stole thousands of dollars in the sense that he lied on timesheets,” Ogg said Tuesday, “he stole individuals' rights to vote, a basic constitutional right in our democracy because people on both sides were delayed in their voting, halted in their voting, rerouted in their voting. … It’s compounded by the loss of public trust in our election system in Harris County. That is the real cost and it is priceless.
