Bexar County's struggle to comply with Texas election laws continues, with voting rights advocates targeting Election Administrator Jacque Callanen for her handling of recent elections, including the May 4 municipal election, reports San Antonio Report. Callanen, in office since 2005, is accused of contributing to a meager turnout of about 1.9% by not operating the required number of polling locations, and delaying the announcement of election day sites.

As per the Texas Civil Rights Project, which has sued Bexar County twice, state law mandates the county to operate 388 polling locations during countywide elections; however, Callanen opened only 244 on Election Day while advising her staff to bring reading materials due to low activity, Callanen justified her approach by stating "Practicality comes into it, you know?" in an interview obtained by San Antonio Report.

Meanwhile, election challenges and proceedings are becoming rampant across Texas, with even small-scale races like Harris County's criminal district court judge involving 15-month-old litigation, as reported by The Texas Tribune. In Harris County, Republican Tami Pierce continues to dispute her narrow 2022 election loss against Democrat DaSean Jones, who won a seat on the criminal district court and currently serves on the bench, according to The Texas Tribune, with Pierce arguing that the election was fraught with errors and improper votes. This case exemplifies the broadening trend of unceasing election litigations, as the November 2020 general election saw the most legal disputes in history, and challenges continue to rise especially among lower-ballot elections.
