Harris County Elections is Missing $22 Million from the 2020 Election Audit

The latest disturbing revelations coming from Harris County’s Elections Department are sure to make your jaw drop. As many of you know, the 2020 Presidential Election came at a hefty price tag of $42 million dollars for Harris County. Many of the answers received for the steep price tag were explained away by the pandemic, and the need of the drive-thru voting. A few weeks ago, I submitted a FOIA request to look further into the vendors which were used in the 2020 election, when I received a startling surprise that the county’s election department only spent $20.8 million for the 2020 Election. So, where did the additional $22 million go?

In 2020 the County Clerk received:

$12 million from Diane Trottman for mail in ballots.

$17.17 million from interim County Clerk Chris Hollins

$9.6 million from CTCL

$3.3 million from PIC funds to cover election costs (11.20)

I’ve informed the elections department of the accounting being off by $22 million over a week ago and still have yet to receive a response.
