Having resigned his job as Tarrant County, Texas (Fort Worth) elections administrator after the naming of an Elections Integrity Task Force, Heider Garcia is named to the same job in nearby Dallas County, KERA reports.
Garcia will start work on December 20. Outgoing Dallas elections administrator Michael Scarpello tells KERA that Garcia has a “technical background” with “election know-how to navigate the sometimes-political waters of Texas.”
“Dallas has to be a leader,” Garcia tells KERA. “Dallas has to have a presence in setting an example of best practices, of problem solving, of innovation.”
Garcia left his Tarrant County job in June. He wrote in his resignation letter that a meeting with Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare had revealed their difference in values.
“Judge O’Hare, my formula to ‘administer a quality transparent election’ stands on respect and zero politics; compromising on these values is not an option for me,” Garcia wrote in the letter. “You made it clear in our last meeting that your formula is different, thus, my decision to leave. I wish you the best; Tarrant County deserves that you find success.”

1. Heider Garcia is universally recognized as an excellent administrator of election processes, which are relatively easy to monitor. Has any authority in Texas fully considered any parts of the election process, including electronic, that could be manipulated the way Smartmatic is reputed to have done?
2. Is there a diversion here to keep people focused on visible processes, and away from possible hidden ones?
3. How did careless and reckless allegations in 2020 discourage people from continuing to explore other forms of election interference or manipulation?
4. What kinds of “innovation” might Garcia have in store for Dallas County that should bear special attention?
