A discrepancy in Harris County, Texas, appeared to benefit Democrats.
A “formatting error” with the county’s vote tracking spreadsheet affected the recording of early voter turnout.
According to Joseph L. Trahan, a candidate for Senate District 15, “Harris County Central Count must have some kind of secret teleportation device they used to remove 2000 to 3000 voters a day from HCC South Loop and moved them to Kashmere every day of early voting after the fact. THIS is merely one of many astounding feats overcoming the limitations of time and space, physics, Rodney Ellis’ team has been able to achieve.”
“Me, my team and other candidates worked HCC Southloop many days of the early voting period. For instance, Wednesday we know for a fact we passed out 1000 campaign buttons to voters that exited the polling location with a ‘I Voted’ sticker, many of which we had spoken with as they were entering the polling location,” he explained. “Wednesday, Oct 30, at HCC 610 loop easily 2,500 voters entered that voting center by all accounts and this morning Harris County Central Count adjusted that number to 711?”
Trahan added that daily totals appeared to shift from Republican locations to Democrat polling locations. “Over 60 daily totals shifted from heavy ‘Republican’ polling locations to heavy ‘Democrat’ polling locations,” he said, adding, “We want answers.”
Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said the “formatting of the spreadsheet inadvertently misaligned, causing cells to shift and reflect incorrect numbers for other locations.”
“A gentle reminder, as stated in red at the bottom of the early vote total report, the numbers of early voters by personal appearance are UNOFFICIAL until all administrative documents collected from each voting center are reviewed and reconciled in accordance with the Texas Election Code (TEC),” Hudspeth added. “I assure you that every vote that was cast will be accurately tallied.”
