With mounting concerns over possible election fraud last November, Republican Alexandra Mealer tweeted out last night that she is filing to contest the election for Harris County Judge.
“After careful review and analysis of the facts available, I have decided to file an election contest," Mealer posted, "Every Harris County voter should be deeply concerned about voter suppression and welcome full transparency to ensure free and fair elections.”
Despite leading in several polls, Mealer came up short to incumbent Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. But since then, an investigation has discovered there were multiple issues on election day, with the majority occurring in Republican districts.
"My decision to file an election contest is fundamentally about protecting the right in free and fair elections" Mealer added, "There aren't a lot of things that Lina Hidalgo and I agree on but surely, we can both agree that it is un-American to suppress votes."
