Tussle in Texas over how elections are run could spread to other states

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:12:06 GMT

Matt Vasilogambros | Stateline.org (TNS)A move by Texas Republicans to abolish the position of Harris County elections administrator and hand new oversight powers to the governor-appointed secretary of state could provide a blueprint for GOP leaders in other states who want to tilt elections in their favor, Democratic lawmakers and independent election experts say.Republican lawmakers acted last month after arguing that Harris County — a Democratic stronghold that includes Houston and is the state’s largest and one of its most diverse counties — botched last year’s midterm election. Some precincts did not provide enough paper ballots or failed to open polling places on time, though the effects are unclear. Republicans claim the mistakes disenfranchised some voters.One of the bills the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature approved would eliminate the job of county election administrator, who is appointed by a five-member commission that includes the county judge, the tax assessor,...

(CNN Español) — Joran van der Sloot, una de las últimas personas que vio con vida a la estadounidense Natalee Holloway, estuvo 22 horas fuera de una prisión en Perú. Ese fue el tiempo que le tomó al vehículo del Instituto Nacional Penitenciario recorrer las carreteras que unen el penal de Challapalca, en Tacna, con el de Ancón I, en Lima, donde estará recluido hasta que las autoridades de EE.UU. lo trasladen a ese país.Probablemente Van der Sloot solo guardará en su mente los rostros de quienes lo escoltaban, pues la camioneta blanca que lo trasladaba, como suele ocurrir en estos casos en los que se aplican estrictas medidas de seguridad, no tenía ventanillas que le permitieran ver el exterior.Van der Sloot partió de Challapalca el viernes, alrededor de las 11 p.m., hora local, y llegó a Ancón I pasadas las 9 p.m. del sábado. Su salida y su llegada, confirmadas por las autoridades, fueron registradas en exclusiva por las cámaras de CNN en Español.Joran van der Sloot será entre...
