HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth announced Monday that early voting turnout numbers across the county could be off due to a formatting issue within the spreadsheet they use to keep track of the numbers.
In a statement, Hudspeth said cells shifted for some of the voting centers in the spreadsheet and showed "incorrect numbers for other locations."
Editor's note: The video atop this article is from a previous report.
It's unclear how many locations the shift affected.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5. The weather was expected to be a factor in Southeast Texas, so be prepared for wet roads on your way to the polls.
Here's Hudspeth's full comment:
"In the process of updating the daily record of early vote totals for two vote centers (Baytown Community Center and Mission Bend Center), the formatting of the spreadsheet inadvertently misaligned, causing cells to shift and reflect incorrect numbers for other locations. Our office is aware and is actively working to correct the report. A gentle reminder, as stated in red at the bottom of the early vote total report, the numbers of early voters by personal appearance are UNOFFICIAL until all administrative documents collected from each voting center are reviewed and reconciled in accordance with the Texas Elections Code (TEC). I assure you that every vote that was cast will be accurately tallied."
