AUSTIN (Talk1370.com/NewsRadio 1080 KRLD) -- The Texas Secretary of State's Office is providing some more details about its audit of last year's election results in four counties. Work has already begun on the audit in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Harris counties.
The Secretary of State's Office says the audit will be conducted in two parts. The first phase includes tests of the voting machines and scouring the lists of people who voted in those four counties to find anyone who might have been ineligible.
The Secretary of State's Office says it has already received reports of people who may have voted twice, ballots cast in the names of people who are dead and possible non-citizens who voted. It plans to refer any instances of possible illegal voting to the Texas Attorney General's Office.
The second phase of the audit will consist of an evaluation of election records from those four counties.
The evaluation will cover records of accuracy tests on voting machines, the list of registered voters, the list of rejected provisional ballots, materials for local signature verification committees and training materials for election workers. It will likely not be finished until the spring of 2022.
