10,000 uncounted ballots found in Texas county

Election officials discovered 10,000 uncounted mail-in ballots over the weekend in Texas’s most populous county after the first-in-the-nation 2022 primary last week.

Two close Democratic primary races, one for a state House seat and another for Texas attorney general, hang in the balance. The ballots, 6,000 for Democrats and 4,000 for Republicans, were scanned into the tabulation computer, but they were not added to the unofficial final results, Harris County officials announced Sunday.
