Heider Garcia, the longtime Smartmatic figure who ran the company’s controversial program in the 2010 election in the Philippines, resigns as election administrator of Tarrant County, Texas, effective June 23. He cites unspecified differences with County Judge Tim O’Hare, the new county executive, as the reason for his resignation.
Garcia held the post since 2018. Both supporters and critics called Garcia “one of the best administrators in the field,” according to Votebeat Texas. He declined to comment to journalists about his resignation.
