This isn’t the first time a state audit flagged such discrepancies. Last year, the state found similar inconsistencies when reviewing Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin counties’ 2020 elections.

It isn’t clear what happened in Harris. A spokesperson for the county tax assessor-collector’s office, which is now in charge of voter registration, told Votebeat they could not explain the discrepancies in the report because that data was handled by the now-abolished election administration department.
In addition, Harris County documented sending out nearly 3,600 more mail ballots to voters than the number it reported to the state. Some election officials say using a third-party vendor to manage voter registration data allows the county to control how its data is stored and the procedures used to gather it.
The county’s ballot by mail reports showed that 81,070 ballots were mailed for the November 8, 2022 general election. But when compared to the data the county reported to the statewide voter registration system, there was a difference of 3,583 ballots. Another discrepancy also appeared in the county’s post-election report, which showed that 81,064 mail ballots sent to voters.
