Despite a host of Election Day irregularities and an ongoing criminal investigation, Harris County commissioners have voted to certify the midterm results
. FOX 26 political reporter Greg Groogan was at Tuesday's meeting, where we heard plenty of protests.Despite protests from citizens who labeled the Harris County midterm elections "an embarrassment," the only two Commissioners attending Tuesday's official canvass gave the controversial results their approval.
The extension of the voting period was granted by a local judge at the request of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis.A handful of election volunteers who worked polling locations November 8th characterized the election day miscues as minor. "Nothing that went on was beyond the character or scale of any of the normal things that go on in elections," said Brad Neal, a longtime precinct judge. "Nothing is perfect. It's a very difficult thing to pull off."The irregularities have triggered a lawsuit from the Harris County Republican Party with Chairwoman Cindy Siegel contending too much went wrong on November 8th to call this election legitimate.
"As election officials, it's time to stop hiding behind your position and stand up for the voters in Harris County by voting against approving the canvass until it can be determined, in a transparent manner, the reasons for the egregious mismanagement of this election and restore the voter's confidence that it won't happen again," said Siegel.
