Texas AG Candidate Targets Deloitte Contracts Amid Voter Registration Backlog

Democratic Texas Attorney General candidate Nathan Johnson has pledged to investigate state vendor contracts, specifically targeting consulting firm Deloitte, following a software error that delayed the processing of nearly 200,000 voter registration applications. The error, which originated in October 2025, was only discovered in September, leaving less than a month before the November 3 midterm elections. While state officials assert the backlog is being resolved and provisional ballots will be counted, the incident has intensified scrutiny over the outsourcing of core government functions and the reliability of Texas’s limited online registration system.

States Bet Millions on Contractors to Enforce Trump-Era Medicaid Work Rules

States are paying Deloitte, Accenture, and Optum millions to overhaul Medicaid and SNAP eligibility systems to enforce work requirements under the Trump-era One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The changes are expected to shrink safety-net coverage, with the CBO projecting 7.5 million uninsured under Medicaid by 2034 and about 2.4 million SNAP recipients cut off; five states alone estimate at least $45.6 million in upfront costs for the modifications. Federal funding covers most ongoing costs and CMS has touted discounts, but audits note systemic errors that could worsen eligibility mistakes for the poorest Americans.
