Abbott calls out 'voter fraud' in Houston judicial race

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pointed to what he viewed as a prime example of voter fraud on Saturday in a Houston-area judicial race after a new election was ordered nearly two years after the fact.

A Houston judge found last month that more than 1,400 votes in the 2022 180th District Court race were invalid and threw out the results because only 450 votes separated the Democratic and Republican candidates.

“Voter fraud is real. Especially in Houston,” Abbott wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
