A significant error in Texas has resulted in a backlog of tens of thousands of voter registration applications, with election workers scrambling to process over 178,000 delayed registrations just ahead of the midterm elections. Counties such as Bexar, Dallas, Collin, Harris, and Montgomery are all reporting substantial numbers of unprocessed applications, with some officials confirming backlogs of up to 100,000. Notably, Texas DPS has failed to send crucial voter registration applications to county election offices, raising concerns about the registration status of thousands of voters before upcoming deadlines. With just weeks left until the elections, there is increasing pressure for the state to resolve these issues and ensure that all eligible voters are able to participate.
