On 12/17/19 at 11:37 AM ESTThe results of a $569 million Texas election may change for a third time since November after Midland County officials found a"mystery" ballot box.
On Monday morning, Midland County officials obtained a court order to open the"mystery" ballot box that had become separated from the 17 others and may potentially produce a third election result, theSpecial political action committees on both sides of the vote have filed to contest the election results in the western Texas district of about 26,000 students, citing a demand for transparency in the voting process.
Midland election officials had previously noted an 820-vote shortage during the recount because the"mystery" box was not included.
