A Texas House representative announced Monday he’s introducing a bill for a forensic audit of the most populous counties’ election results.
According to the text of House Bill 241, introduced by Republican state Rep. Steve Toth, forensic reviews of counties with more than 415,000 population should be carried out before Nov. 1, 2021, and they should be completed before Feb. 1, 2022.
“Not later than March 1, 2022,” the bill’s text states, “the independent third party conducting the audit under this section shall submit a report to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the house of representatives, and each member of the legislature detailing any anomalies or discrepancies in voter data, ballot data, or tabulation.”

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough responded to President Joe Biden s plan for a door-to-door vaccine campaign Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Biden outlined a hyperlocal strategy to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates, including a door-to-door campaign to disseminate information on vaccines. Biden said he wanted to move focus from mass vaccination sites to getting doses of the virus to more family practitioners and local health care providers, according to ABC News.

One of the victims presumed to have drowned in Lake Conroe Friday evening was preparing to serve in the U.S. military, family told ABC13.
According to the brother of 26-year-old Nizigiyimana Peragie, the young woman had enlisted in the Army and was enjoying her last week before boot camp when this tragedy happened.
Witnesses told police that they saw a group of people rent a pontoon on Friday before seeing a woman, now identified as Peragie, fall overboard that same watercraft. They said her boyfriend, 24-year-old Nsengiyumva Adrien, jumped in to save her, and neither resurfaced.
The mayor and other local leaders had warned the party would be a super spreader event.
Turner reminded the public that at least five variants of the coronavirus have been detected in the Houston area.
