Karen Wiseman previously sued former election administrator Heider Garcia and participated in a right-wing group’s search for 2020 voter fraud. She’s one of the three finalists, none of which have experience running elections.
Tarrant County officials are considering hiring as election chief a prominent Republican donor and activist who has baselessly criticized the security of the county’s elections and appears to have no previous experience running an election.
The county received at least 20 applications for the position through its online recruitment portal after elections administrator Heider GarciaGarcia, known as one of the most respected elections directors in the state, said in his letter of resignation he was leaving due to political pressure from his new boss, conservative Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare.
Based on a review of their online resumes, the finalists for the county’s top elections job appear to have no previous experience running elections, either in Texas or anywhere else. Wiseman’s resume shows she has previous experience in finance and so does Crosley’s. Ludwig appears to have experience managing administrative teams.
A day after Garcia’s resignation in April, during a Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting, Wiseman spoke against the county’s vote to renew a contract with the vendor of software the elections department uses to run its electronic poll books. The electronic poll books have voter registration information and help poll workers quickly check in voters at polling locations, which also prevents them from voting at more than one location. The electronic poll books are not used to count votes.
