Reply #23: TX: State asked to investigate Ector County Commissioner race (wow)

[rumpel]

ODESSA, Texas The Ector County elections administrator has asked the state to investigate possible voting irregularities during the West Texas county's March primary.

County Elections Administrator Robert Mendoza says the questions center on the race for Precinct Four county commissioner.
He's concerned about mail-in ballots from the precinct bearing no signatures from those who helped fill out the ballot. Other ballots bore similar handwriting or similar marks, while some envelopes bore identical postage.
The Texas Secretary of State's office sent a letter to Attorney General Greg Abbott's office to request an investigation. A spokesman for the attorney general says the office doesn't publicly acknowledge investigations.
Precinct Four County Commissioner Bob Bryant, who wasn't seeking re-election, challenged the returns in the election to replace him, saying mail-in ballots were missing.
