Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday called for an investigation into Harris County's election practices last Tuesday, citing the delayed polling place openings that prompted an ongoing legal battle, a shortage of paper ballots at some polls, understaffing and other problems.

Abbott, in a news release, said he wants the secretary of state, attorney general and Texas Rangers to initiate probes into "allegations of improprieties in the way that the 2022 elections were conducted in Harris County."

Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum responded in a statement, saying the county is "committed to transparency" and already participating in the state's audit process of the November election.

"The office is currently completing vote tabulation of provisional ballots in reparation for the statutorily required manual count that must occur before canvassing," Tatum said. "The last day to Canvas is November 22, 2022. The office is currently reviewing issues and claims made about Election Day and will include these findings in a post-elections report to be shared promptly with the Harris County Elections Commission and the County Commissioner Court.".....

James Slattery, a senior staff attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project, said in a tweet that the statement from Abbott is the latest in a string of actions to question Harris County election results.
