Election-related problems in the Houston area over the past two years have been so widespread that the state legislature passed a bill in an attempt to fix them
Black conservatives have joined a lawsuit seeking transparency about the November 2022 election in Harris County that they allege Democratic officials mismanaged.
At a news conference on Thursday in Houston, they joined Jim McIngvale Gallery Furniture owner “Mattress Mack,” who sued the county earlier this year.
McIngvale was among dozens who sued, including 17 judges, alleging election irregularities and problems created by a new county election administrator. They are seeking county records.
Election-related problems over the past two years have been so widespread that the state legislature passed a bill in an attempt to fix them. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the bill into law, which requires, among other provisions, that county election oversight be managed by election officials. Harris County sued, alleging the law is unconstitutional.
Jonathan McCullough, founder and president of a Houston area-based Urban Conservatives of America, said, “We have joined prominent and respected Houstonians Jim McIngvale and Wayne Dolcefino to petition the courts with respect to the lack of transparency of the Harris County Elections Administration office that is withholding information needed to guarantee the integrity of Harris County elections for registered voters.
