Texas House representative announced Monday he’s introducing a bill for a forensic audit of the most populous counties’ election results.

According to the text of House Bill 241, introduced by Republican state Rep. Steve Toth, forensic reviews of counties with more than 415,000 population should be carried out before Nov. 1, 2021, and they should be completed before Feb. 1, 2022.

“Not later than March 1, 2022,” the bill’s text states, “the independent third party conducting the audit under this section shall submit a report to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house of representatives, and each member of the legislature detailing any anomalies or discrepancies in voter data, ballot data, or tabulation.”

The counties that should be audited, according to the bill, include Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Tarrant, Collin, Travis, Denton, Hidalgo, Fort Bend, El Paso, Williamson, Montgomery, and Cameron. . . .

A news release posted by Toth on Monday cited recent comments from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who said last month that about 500 election fraud cases are being prosecuted by his office—although scant details have been provided to date. During a speech at CPAC this month, Paxton said he’s investigating 400 more fraud cases.

His release also included a statement of support from Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough, who said Toth’s “proposed bill is timely and necessary” in potentially “exposing any instances of fraud during the 2020 election and reassuring Texas voters.”

After the months-long audit of Arizona’s Maricopa County’s Nov. 3 results, lawmakers in other Republican-led states like Wisconsin or Pennsylvania have pushed for election reviews of their own. Last week, an audit team that reviewed ballots and election equipment in Maricopa told a state Senate hearing they found thousands of discrepancies, although Maricopa County executives and Democrats have frequently denigrated the audit and said the results are not credible.

Meanwhile, the Texas state House is currently in a state of limbo after dozens of Democrat lawmakers left the state earlier this month in a bid to deny Republicans quorum to block a separate election overhaul bill and met with top Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, in Washington D.C. The stunt drew condemnation from Phelan and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who both threatened to arrest and detain the lawmakers upon their return to the Lone Star State and force them to be present to hold the special legislative session.

A quorum is the minimum number of members of an assembly or legislative chamber who must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of the meeting valid.

In reasoning why they left the state, Democrats said they have no other choice to block the election bill—which they described as a measure designed to suppress minority voters’ rights. But Republicans said the bill is necessary to restore the public’s confidence in their elections and safeguard future ones.

“By and large, individual voters are trying to vote. They’re trying to do the right thing,” Republican state Sen. Bryan Hughes told KWTX earlier this month in why the election overhaul bill needs to be passed. “We want them to do that. The security measures in this bill, by and large, are directed at vote harvesters or folks who are trying to steal votes.”

I pray every state will do an audit of the 2020 votes. Voter integrity needs to be restored.

It has been reported that equipment malfunction was responsible for a significant number of “misprocessed” ballots. Much like those with a Sharpie that was illegal, immoral and fattening.(it increased the pockets, thus the girth!) No brainer about those who left the state. Most didn’t have to go that far for a shower to clean up and continue…

Amen to Susan. BTW: Luke 12:51 (NKJV) tells me to expect division. I chose to pray for reconciliation according to 2 Cor 5:18-19 and Col 1: 19-20. I was once in Col 1: 21 and 2 Cor 5:16. Our God is able, through The Spirit working in the minds and hearts of the unredeemed.

Lord Jesus,since the government is on your shoulders,we cry out to you, to let the audits begin in Texas. Open up the floor gates to do them in others swing states as well. Let your justice and authority reign. Thank you for answering our prayers. Our hope rests in you alone.

    Audit California, Wisconsin and Michigan as well. Actually, it would be good to demand a forensic audit in each and every county, borough, precinct, etc. in each state to corroborate all election results and where necessary, make the appropriate changes so that future elections ensure that every living LEGAL voter has the opportunity to cast only one ballot and every legitimate ballot is counted only once with no external manipulation of ballot tallies and that the chain of custody for each ballot is secure, safe and honest.
