Texas Vote Questioned On $1.1 Billion Bond
Recap: A $1.1 billion Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) bond appeared to win a 71 per cent approval from voters on May 4, 2019. However, multiple poll watchers at the Dallas County central counting station say they documented numerous mistakes, irregularities and possible fraud in the vote tabulation process, rendering the results “unknowable.” Poll watcher Kirk Launius sued to have the election overturned, yielding three weeks of testimony last month in Dallas County’s 298 District Court. In his closing arguments, the defense counsel for Dallas County Elections Department (DCED) replied to specific points, but also admitting that on some issues where the two sides disagreed the judge would have to review the evidence closely and decide.
