City vote site changes prompt county clerk email delay
The Baytown Sun reports the Harris County Clerk’s Office did not respond to inquiries about why a polling place was closed and when the decision was made. The county governs all polling places and counts votes, citing a state advisory that blocked a remote results system. City officials say there was little consultation, voters were directed to Sterling Municipal Library, and a backup plan required one computer in Houston to read all cards. The issue may delay a full voting system replacement beyond the November 2020 election.
