Harris County will be one of four Texas counties to undergo an audit of its upcoming November election results, after being selected by the Texas secretary of state's office. This will be the second election audit in two years for Harris County.
with populations greater than 300,000, meaning the state’s large urban counties will face the most audits. Texas has 254 counties.
On Twitter, Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee questioned the randomness of the selection process.

When an employee drops the labels of the large counties into the bucket, it does not happen on camera.
“Harris County will comply, as we’ve always done,’ Menefee said. “But this is a waste of time. Last year the state coincidentally launched an audit of the county’s 2020 election just hours after former President Trump called on the governor to do so. That audit has been consuming the resources of our Elections Administrator’s office at a time where they’ve had to hold a record number of elections. By the way, that audit has still not been completed.
