TX: Fort Bend County officials say some voters were given ballot for wrong precinct

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas — One day before Election Day, Fort Bend County officials revealed dozens of their voter registrations were coded to the wrong precinct.

They blamed it on a coding error linked to redistricting in 2021.

“It is a minor blip on the radar,” said KP George, Fort Bend County Judge, during a news conference Monday morning announcing the findings. “We do not anticipate these coding errors to materially affect the outcome of tomorrow’s election.”

Still, George said it’s a serious matter county officials are working to remedy and learn from.

The election administrator for Fort Bend is a good guy who actually got me to serve as the republican election judge. This seems to be isolated but there is no way to correct a ballot that has already been cast. It seems that one other county may have had this issue
