An elections administrator in North Texas submitted her resignation Friday, following a monthslong effort by residents and officials loyal to former President Donald Trump to force her out of office.

Michele Carew, who had overseen scores of elections during her 14-year career, had found herself transformed into the public face of an electoral system that many in the heavily Republican Hood County had come to mistrust, which ProPublica and The Texas Tribune covered earlier this month.

Her critics sought to abolish her position and give her duties to an elected county clerk who has used social media to promote baseless allegations of widespread election fraud.

Carew, who was hired to run elections in Hood County two-and-a-half months before the contested presidential race, said in an interview that she worried that the forces that tried to drive her out will spread to other counties in the state.

1. Didn't tRump have a voter fraud issue in 2017?

And he won, yet he still went on and on and on. Kris Kobach was chosen to be the one finding fraud.

4 years of GOP inspired voter fraud investigations and not a single case was found anywhere!!!!! What a bunch of BS.

Americans forget so quickly when it suits them. Ask any one of them screaming about voter fraud in 2021 and few will remember this or the results of the investigations 4 years ago.

4. These folks are seriously planning on stealing the next election and I'm

not sure how anyone can stop them.

Crazy seems to be the only qualification to be a Republican.

5. Well, a few more qualifications.

Delusional, gullible, poor impulse control and bad judgement.
