The first phase of the Texas election audit demanded by former President Donald Trump failed to find significant voting issues, according to a report by the secretary of state's office.
The first phase consisted of a partial manual count of ballots and security assessments in four of the largest counties in the Lone Star state, the Texas Tribune reported. All counties are already required to undergo this as part of the normal process.
Remi Garza, president of the Texas Association of Election Administrators, told the Tribune nothing in the report concerned him.
"There doesn't seem to be anything too far out of the ordinary with respect to the information that's provided," he told the newspaper.
The audit found few differences between the manual and electronic ballot counts, and only 509 possible cross-state duplicate votesless than .005 percent of the more than 11.3 million ballots cast in Texas. Nine of these ballots were cast on Collin County, 12 in Dallas County, 27 in Harris County and 12 in Tarrant County, according to the report.
It also found only 67 possible votes cast in the name people who have died. Three of those were cast in Collin County, nine in Dallas County, four in Harris County and one in Tarrant County.

(861 posts)I wonder if it's an attempt to find security vulnerabilities? Not sure, but I doubt it's just insanity, personally.
