Ahead of you going out to the polls Tuesday, we spent time with election administrators to give you a look at what happens before you even cast your ballot and what happens to it after you vote.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- Tuesday is primary election day in Texas, and it is the first major election in Texas since the passage of Senate Bill 1, the Election Integrity Bill. So, ahead of you going to the polls on Tuesday, ABC13 spent time with a pair of election administrators to give you a look at what happens before you ever cast your ballot and what happens to it after you vote.
That spotlight was especially glaring after the 2020 contest, a national discussion about election integrity, and the Texas legislature enacting Senate Bill 1, among other changes that provide what supporters call safeguards and what critics call suppression. There was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Texas in 2020, a state audit confirmed.
John Oldham, the election administrator in Fort Bend County, told us that the county was installing cameras which will livestream collected ballots from the time they reach central counting to the time they're officially canvassed. Oldham said it's part of SB1 and all counties will offer the same livestreams. He also assures the one-half million voters in his county that their votes are secure, saying that they go from voting locations to one of four collection sites.
