Texas Secretary of State: Final Report on Audit of 2020 General Election in Texas
Texas Secretary of State: Final Report on Audit of 2020 General Election in Texas, Texas Secretary of State, Excerpts
Reason for the Audit. In order to “ensure that all Texas voters can have confidence in the elections systems in our state,” the Texas Secretary of State ordered a full forensic audit of the 2020 General Election in Collin, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant counties. Two of the counties – Tarrant and Collin – represent the largest Republican-controlled county governments in the State of Texas, while the remaining two – Harris and Dallas – represent the largest Democratic-controlled county governments in the State. This approach ensures that the State of Texas can provide an honest, transparent assessment of county election offices overseen by both political parties. This report will outline the findings of the Forensic Audit Division of the Texas Secretary of State’s office (FAD) over the past year.
