apparently was not Republican enough'A GOP Texas elections official who recently decided to resign from her post says she was forced out of her job as a result of "fierce attacks" following the 2020 election as Trump loyalists spread misinformation about election fraud in a county he overwhelmingly won.
Michele Carew, an elections administrator in Hood County, TX, wrote in a column published in The Washington Post Monday that in the months after the 2020 election "my administration of that election came under fierce attacks from partisan activists, in meetings and online."
"Though it was my duty as election administrator to be nonpartisan, that was characterized as a flaw," wrote Carew, whose resignation takes effect next week on November 12.
Carew explained that at a Hood County Commissioners Court meeting on May 11, one commissioner said, "Nonpartisan in this county means Democrat."
