No Fraud Found in 2022 Harris County Election; Worker Charged with Wage Theft

Investigation reveals ballot shortages were due to employee's misconduct, not intentional voter suppression.

Harris County DA and Texas Rangers found no evidence of attempts to influence the 2022 election results.
Ballot shortages were caused by an employee working a second full-time job, leading to inadequate allocation.
Darryl Blackburn, the employee in question, faces six felony charges related to timesheet fraud and theft.
The investigation marks the end of probes into the 2022 Harris County election irregularities.
Republican candidates had contested the election results, but most challenges were dismissed or upheld by judges.
