The Texas Secretary of State released preliminary findings Friday from an audit of election results ordered earlier this year by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and found few issues.
The September announcement of the audit came a day after Trump suggested Abbott, a close Republican ally, order the audit. The Texas Secretary of State’s Office did not specify then what prompted the announcement., said Friday 3,885,875 votes were cast in the November 2020 election in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Harris counties and that those nearly 4 million votes represent approximately 35% of the roughly 11.3 million votes cast statewide.
Statewide, a total of 509 potential cross-state duplicate votes were cast in the November 2020 General Election - meaning these individuals may have cast a ballot in both Texas and another state. Of those 509, nine cast ballots in Collin County, 12 cast ballots in Dallas County, 27 cast ballots in Harris County, and 12 cast ballots in Tarrant County. Statewide, cross-state duplicate votes represented .005% of all votes cast in Texas.
Statewide, a total of 67 potential votes cast in the name of deceased people are under investigation. Of those 67, three were cast in Collin County, nine were cast in Dallas County, four were cast in Harris County and one was cast in Tarrant County. Statewide, deceased votes that are still under investigation represented .0006% of all votes cast in Texas.
Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to vote. Of these, 327 records were identified in Collin County, 1,385 were identified in Dallas County, 3,063 were identified in Harris County and 708 were identified in Tarrant County. While counties still have a significant number of pending investigations to complete and have undertaken this list maintenance process to varying degrees, so far Dallas County has canceled 1,193 potential non-U.S.
