Voting irregularities-including potentially thousands of votes cast by non-citizens and the dead-were reported during the first phase of the Texas Secretary of State's forensic audit of the 2020 general election, but critics deemed it more of a risk-limiting audit at this point.
The Texas Secretary of State's office released its findings on Dec. 31, but the issues found are not enough to significantly impact 2020 election results of the four counties involved in the audit-Collin, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant counties-which account for about 10 million people, or a third of the Texas population.
Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to vote.
Secretary of State John Scott portrayed the audit as the country's "Most comprehensive forensic audit of the 2020 election," according to a November press release.
The Texas audit was announced soon after Trump wrote a Sept. 23 open letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who Trump endorsed for re-election in 2022, pushing for a more thorough forensic audit of the 2020 election.
State Rep. Steve Toth, Woodlands, who sponsored HB 16, called the Secretary of State audit more of a risk-limiting audit that won't adequately address all 2020 election problems.
He said the Secretary of State's audit has the potential to become a forensic audit during phase two if it begins to dig into voting irregularities.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
