AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott today called upon Republicans in Tarrant County to volunteer as poll watchers to help make sure absentee ballots are properly processed. Due to an error with a Tarrant County vendor, many absentee ballots must be processed manually, and poll watchers and poll workers are needed to ensure ballots are counted and election integrity is upheld.

The Governor has asked former Republican Party of Texas Chairman James Dickey to organize volunteers in Tarrant County. GOP voters in Tarrant County who are not on the ballot are eligible to volunteer and can contact the Tarrant County Republican Party Chairman Rick Barnes to get involved.

“We must ensure that the election process remains transparent, which is why I am calling upon Republicans in Tarrant County to volunteer as poll watchers to help make sure absentee ballots are properly processed and counted,” said Governor Abbott. “With the leadership of former Republican Party of Texas Chairman James Dickey and the help of Tarrant County Republicans, we will ensure ballots are properly counted in Tarrant County and that the election process receives the thorough security and integrity we deserve.”
