Harris Co. DA Kim Ogg went to vote on Tuesday, and found out someone had already cast a ballot in her name

HOUSTON – Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg encountered a voting issue on Tuesday, according to Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth.

Ogg tried to vote, and she was told a ballot had already been cast under her name.

Last Friday, Ogg’s partner voted under Ogg’s name. They are both registered under the same address.

“In this instance, the DA’s partner must not have noticed that the information was not hers, and proceeded to sign in and vote under DA Ogg’s name. We believe this is the case because DA Ogg’s partner signed her own name as confirmation,” Hudspeth wrote in a statement.

Ogg is now able to cast her ballot, but she has not done so yet. Her partner’s vote was transferred to her own name.

Texas House of Representative Jarvis Johnson (D-Houston) said he had issues voting too, but this was resolved and he was able to vote later.
