State error in Texas creates huge backlog in voter registration applications as midterm voting nears
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas is facing a significant backlog in voter registration applications due to an error at the state level, just as midterm elections approach. Local election officials reported that tens of thousands of applications remain unprocessed, particularly in populous counties like Bexar, which has about 45,000 backlogged applications. The issue originated last October when the Texas Department of Public Safety failed to send crucial records to county offices. Although the department claims the problem has been resolved, many officials were left uninformed for nearly a year. Counties must process these applications by October 19, before early voting begins.
