West Texas Republicans Sue for Statewide Hand Count of Ballots

A West Texas Republican Party has filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to stop the certification of the upcoming midterm election unless county officials hand count every ballot in the state.

The Potter County GOP and its chairman, Daniel Rogers, filed an federal lawsuit earlier this week in the Amarillo Division of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Potter County Elections Administrator Christy Benge.

The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by President Donald Trump in 2019. 

The lawsuit asks the court to require 100% of ballots to be hand counted before results are certified for federal races in the state. 

The lawsuit focuses on the threats of hacking and software errors and manipulation using artificial intelligence in voting machines, though it does not accuse the state or county of having faulty voting machines or allege there have been any instances in which a cybersecurity breach has taken place.

The suit states that voting machines that have components manufactured by foreign adversaries could “introduce significant security risks.”
