Texas DPS Error Leaves 100,000+ Voter Records Unprocessed Ahead of Nov. 3 Election
A system error at the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) prevented tens of thousands of voter registration applications and updates from reaching county officials. The backlog, which includes records dating back to October 2025, has forced counties to process a sudden surge of data just weeks before the October 5 registration deadline. While DPS claims the issue is resolved, officials are struggling to verify records, and Democrats are demanding state funding to address the administrative burden.
