  • Looked into a complaint about an election judge after the November 5, 2024 election. A lawyer and the county Democratic chairman told him a judge had tried to sway a voter. He went to the polling place, interviewed the election judges and staff, and contacted the Texas Secretary of State, which left the decision to him. He found the workers' account credible, kept the judge in place, and closed the inquiry.
