Texas County Accused of Election Fraud Now Failing to Enforce Federal Voter Law

A Texas county at the center of a 2020 election controversy and previously run by a serially accused potential fraudster overseeing machines for 90 Texas counties is lacking the necessary legal compliance.

...

debate surrounding how one of the most solid Republican bastions suddenly switched blue in one election cycle. Some people pointed out the 20 million votes that materialized for Democrats across the country as fraud, and others argued that Democrats changed or exploited voting rules to register many U.S.-hating migrants.

...

Texas, while requiring ID to register for voting, does not verify all registrants’ citizenship .. And there were nearly 3 million new voter registrations in Texas just between 2022 and 2024.

Another piece of the puzzle is Heider Garcia, a Venezuelan Hart InterCivic vice president who helps oversee the election machines for 90 Texas counties, as mentioned above. He previously also worked for Smartmatic when officials in the Philippines accused him and his machines of dangerous and egregious fraud. Garcia subsequently served as an election official in California and more than one Texas county, including Tarrant County, which is the one I am looking at in this article.

After Tarrant County flipped blue in one election cycle in 2020, the first Trump administration believed there could be fraud. Republican-aligned County Judge Tim O’Hare was questioning Garcia’s performance and seeking greater election transparency when Garcia resigned, claiming he was a victim. He subsequently worked for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission before moving on to Dallas County. From there, he went right to Hart InterCivic. And now there is a new report about Tarrant County’s policies having no effective way to remove ineligible voters from the rolls. From Integrity First Alliance President Shiloh Marx:

...

Tarrant County failing to do basic voter integrity enforcement.

Can’t un-ring the bell. Nothing to see here, move on.

This couldn’t have anything to do with the blue wave now! /s

I think even the average FR denizen would be shocked at the amount of vote fraud that goes on.

The amount of resistance the Left puts up against any kind of enforcement should tell you all you need to know.
