State officials acknowledge problems with voter registration system and say they’ll work with local election officials to fix it

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Texas’ free newsletter here. After more than a year of complaints, Texas officials are acknowledging the state’s upgraded voter registration management system hasn’t met performance expectations. The state is planning an audit of the system, and on Thursday told county election officials it would also create working groups aimed at improving its function. “Continued areas of concern pose a direct risk to election officials’ ability to meet … legal obligations for statewide election administration in an efficient manner,” according to a request for proposals for an independent audit of the system the state posted Wednesday. As Votebeat first reported , county election officials have been voicing increasingly urgent concerns since the state rolled out the updated system, known as TEAM, in the summer of 2025. They say TEAM has made it hard to complete essential daily tasks, much less prepare for an election. The audit request and work groups were announced in the days following Texas’ hugely consequential midterm election in which at least 9 million people voted.

The Pundits Slept on Gina Hinojosa and Keisha Lance Bottoms: Were They Lazy or Sexist—and Maybe Racist, Too?

The biggest story out of Texas Tuesday night wasn't James Talarico; it was the gubernatorial victory of Gina Hinojosa. She is the first Latina governor of Texas and the state's first Democratic executive—female or otherwise—since Ann Richards pioneered the power pantsuit back in 1991. Though Hinojosa's win was surprisingly commanding, it was entirely foreseeable. Her competitive position was apparent months ago. Yet national reporters produced endless, sycophantic profiles of the cherubic Talarico while relegating Hinojosa's objectively more compelling story to the margins.

Your 2026 Voter Guide: See what’s on the ballot

On a weeknight in late October, a Dallas County resident can sit at a kitchen table with a sample ballot that runs longer than a grocery list. Judges, constables, bond proposals, and statewide offices appear in a sequence that rewards patience more than passion. That is the problem the Dallas Voter Guide is built to solve, and it is also the reason so many people abandon the lower half of the ballot. The Dallas Morning News has published its 2026 guide ahead of the November 3 election, with plain explanations of contests that rarely lead the evening news. For readers who want to vote the whole card rather than only the famous names, the timing matters. Early preparation is not a hobby reserved for political insiders. It is how ordinary residents avoid guessing once they step into the booth.
