Bexar County (TX) GOP chair refuses to certify runoff election totals after losing in landslide

SAN ANTONIO – After a bruising defeat in the runoff election for Bexar County GOP chair, Cynthia Brehm announced on Thursday she will not certify the results.

In a news release, Brehm argued that the Bexar County Elections Department did not produce signed official chain of custody documentation for 31 voting centers’ early voting data, did not post a guard to secure early voting data and accessed early voting data prior to tabulation.

Brehm also claimed she witnessed conflicts of interest and cited “an active investigation ongoing into the results” of the primary election held on March 3.

“In summary, I Cynthia Brehm, have determined that every aspect of this election has been severely compromised,” Brehm said. “Therefore, I cannot in good conscious (sic) certify the results of this election.”

Republican voters in Bexar County largely rejected Brehm in favor of her opponent, John Austin. Austin received nearly two-thirds of the votes, election data showed. Austin declined to comment on Brehm’s announcement.
