HARRIS COUNTY - 2022 Democrat Election Administrator, Isabella Longoria, resigns after GOP legal filings.
As I previously reported, late Saturday, election officials said that an “oversight” led to 10,000 ballots not being counted. Those votes — 6,000 Democratic and 4,000 Republican — were added to the final tallies on Tuesday. The new votes didn’t change the outcome of any races.
GOP legal filings criticized Longoria for the incompetence in the supervision of the election process, including the slow count that took 30 hours to complete. In addition to the 10,000 mailed in ballots that 'appeared' over the weekend, 1500 were jammed or smudged.
Harris County Elections Administrator Isabel Longoria announced during a meeting of county commissioners she would resign. Longoria said she took responsibility for the problems during last Tuesday’s election.
“Ultimately, the buck stops with me to address these issues and conduct elections on behalf of the voters. I didn’t meet my own standards,”
Longoria’s resignation came during a meeting which at times became contentious as some officials and residents asked that she either resign or be fired.
judge Lina Hidalgo(D) the county’s top elected official, said the problems with last week’s election were unacceptable, including insufficient training for election workers.
Before Longoria offered her resignation, Hidalgo had indicated she wanted a change in leadership in the local office that runs and manages elections.||
