An investigation conducted by the Harris County District Attorney's office in Texas has revealed no evidence of intent to influence the 2022 election outcomes in the state's largest county. The review, led by District Attorney Kim Ogg, found that elections employees did not intentionally try to sway the results of the midterm elections held in Houston.
However, the investigation did uncover failures by one elections employee, Darryl Blackburn, who was responsible for ensuring polling locations had an adequate supply of paper ballots. Blackburn now faces criminal charges related to improperly claiming hours on his timesheets and working a second job during election day, when some polling locations ran out of paper ballots.
