Texas Faces Huge Voter Registration Backlog Due to Statewide Error
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Texas county election offices are facing a significant backlog of voter registration applications due to a state-level error, just as they prepare for the upcoming midterm elections in November. Local election officials reported that this issue may have prevented some individuals from voting in the March primaries, as their applications were not processed. The backlog, which could number in the tens of thousands, particularly affects populous counties like Bexar, where around 45,000 applications are pending. The problem originated from the Texas Department of Public Safety, which had a system error affecting online voter registrations. Counties have until early voting begins on October 19 to process these late applications.
