Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said the last thing she expected when arriving at the polls this morning was to have trouble voting. After heading into Love Park Community Center, she was told by those working that she had already cast her ballot during the early voting period.
“I’m really concerned that this could affect other people. I don’t know that," Ogg said. “But then I was very surprised to see that the clerk blamed it on user error. The whole purpose of having an election clerk and election judge is to prevent exactly this type of situation where somebody votes under one ID, but that’s not the right person.”
Hudspeth said it could be a common occurrence, especially if you have a spouse, partner or family member who lives at the same address as Ogg and her partner does. Hudspeth said the situation could have occurred because of the election worker or the voter — Ogg’s partner. "In the process of qualifying a voter, each voter is asked to review and confirm the information that appears on the iPad screen, including the voter's name. If the information that appears on the screen is not accurate, the voter must notify the election clerk. In this instance, the DA's partner must not have noticed that the information was not hers, and proceeded to sign in and vote under DA Ogg's name.
