Democrat Candidate Goes To Polling Station, Is Told Someone Already Voted In Her Name

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg encountered an unexpected hurdle at the Love Park Community Center polling station when she was informed that a vote had already been cast in her name.

As DA Ogg approached the polling station with the intention of participating in the democratic process, she was met with the startling revelation that her opportunity to vote had seemingly been usurped.

The initial explanation for the mix-up suggested a clerical error, indicating that when Ogg’s partner attempted to vote earlier, an election worker mistakenly pulled up Ogg’s voter number instead according to the Houston Chronicle.

WATCH:

So apparently Kim Ogg @HarrisCountyDAO had an issue voting this morning and it was resolved by the Harris County Elections @HarrisVotes department by them simply changing the vote that was cast from one person to another.

Teneshia Hudspeth, the Harris County Clerk, released a comment on X, saying that it is part of the voting process for individuals to scrutinize and verify their details on the iPad display during qualification.

“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,” Hudspeth wrote. “Clerical errors can occur at the polls. It is the voter’s responsibility to verify that their information in the iPad screen is correct.”

The Clerk’s office was able to rectify the situation, ensuring that the poll book was corrected and DA Ogg could exercise her right to vote. DA Ogg, who is facing a competitive primary against Sean Teare, has since been able to cast her vote.
