Harris County’s Democrat District Attorney Kim Ogg has requested the Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS) to investigate the midterm election in her county, following voter complaints of delayed openings at polling places, paper ballot shortages, staffing shortages, and other issues.

Ogg sent a letter to TDPS Executive Director Steven McGraw requesting assistance with the investigation into allegations of possible criminal conduct during the Nov. 8 elections.
