Dallas County election systems are working exactly as they should be.
How do we know? Because they've been tested — three times! Last week, the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Attorney General's Office re-tested the already verified successful tests, and both certified the results. So did appointed representatives of the Dallas County Republican Party and Dallas County Democratic Party.
On Thursday of last week, to remove lingering ill-informed and ill-motivated doubts, the county ran a third test. I was there, along with three other senators. Again, the Secretary of State and Attorney General's offices were there. Poll watchers were there. We all observed the process over the course of the day. The tests were successful in every respect.
Our election system is ready.

It’s imperative that Dallas county voters show up and participate in this election. Need any more proof? Texas Republicans are doing everything they can think of to try to dissuade Dallas voters from casting their ballots.
We’re not fooled.
Audit after audit after audit have shown that voting in Texas is secure and trustworthy.
Now let’s give them votes to count!
Yes, I’m mad about this. If you’d like to see more of my response to the entirely unfounded attack by Texas Republicans on the integrity of our Dallas elections and election officials, please watch and share this.
