NEW: @GregAbbott_TX and his SOS office are telling the public the SOS’s “audit” of the 2020 election has been going on for months.

I sent the SOS a demand for their internal documents to confirm whether that’s true, and to get answers since we’ve heard nothing about this audit.

In my county we only have County attorneys, no district attorneys. I made an assumption and was wrong....lol

BTW, in Texas County Judges are not judicial positions but are the CEO of the county government. I remember a newly elected GOP county judge showing up in robes and asking to try cases. He was luckily voted out in 2018

Harris County Attorney Menefee demands documents related to audit of 2020 elections announced by Abbott administration
“Governor Abbott and the Secretary of State are telling the public that this ‘audit’ has been going on for months, but this is the first time the County’s heard anything about it…they’re on the news and issuing press releases about this ‘audit’, talking to everyone about it but us.”

In Houston on Tuesday, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee said he is asking the Texas Secretary of State’s office for documentation related to the “purported ‘forensic audit’ of the November 2020 election in certain counties, including Harris County.”

“Governor Abbott and the Secretary of State are telling the public that this ‘audit’ has been going on for months, but this is the first time the County’s heard anything about it,” Menefee said in a news release. “They’re on the news and issuing press releases about this ‘audit’, talking to everyone about it but us.”

Of course, the SOS announced audits of Harris, Dallas, Collin, and Tarrant Counties last week after former President Donald Trump demanded that Gov. Greg Abbott add an agenda item to the special session related to an audit of the 2020 elections across the state.
