Summary Texas’ 2026 election results are drawing scrutiny over high turnout and voting patterns in major counties, with residents and former candidates questioning the significant increases in Democrat vote totals. Gina Hinojosa received 1.7 million more votes than Beto O’Rourke in 2022; James Talarico got nearly as many votes as President Donald Trump won in 2024. Independent journalist Kyle Becker and others cited reported changes and discrepancies in published election figures while arguing that Texas voters deserve greater transparency. After Democrats took hold of Texas on Election Day, many Texans are raising questions of whether the election was fair and if fraud took place. Numerous irregularities in Texas’ voter totals are causing many across the state to wonder if illegal votes were cast in the Texas election. [snip] In 2018, Gov. Greg Abbott received 4.6 million votes, while his Democrat challenger, Valdez, received 3.5 million. In 2022, Abbott received 4.4 million, while O’Rourke won 3.5 million. However, in 2026, it appears that Democrats gained 1.7 million votes, as Abbott received nearly the same number of votes, 4.5 million, while Hinojosa received 5.2 million. Additionally, in the U.S. Senate race, Talarico received 5.45 million votes, compared to Republican Ken Paxton’s 4.25 million. Trump received a total of 6.39 million votes from Texas during the 2024 presidential race, and Talarico was only 940,000 short of that entire number during a midterm election—when voters are less likely to turn out. [snip] Trahan then broke down the statewide numbers in the Texas attorney general race, where Republican Mayes Middleton received 4.5 million votes, and Democrat Nathan Johnson received 5.1 million. In five counties—Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Travis, and Bexar—Johnson received 2.6 million, whereas Middleton received 1.36 million. [snip] “A perfectly normal 2 Million NEW votes? MORE than a presidential election? Explain this to me,” Trahan said in his X post. MILLIONS of new “voters”, were added to the voter rolls in many states, like Texas, with NO PROOF of citizenship. 20 million new voters that voted 100% Democrat? BS! 12 states had more “registered” voters than voting age citizens??? This is what happens when they got away with stealing the 2020 election! This midterm 2026 election was more fraudulent than 2020! This election cannot be certified! — Mike Engleman🇺🇲 (@RealHickory) November 7, 2026 Additionally, Kyle Becker, an independent journalist and former writer/associate producer for Fox News, wrote an article detailing the irregularities in the Texas election. [snip] The investigation referenced in Becker’s article also reported that there were other changes to published figures. “The investigation also documented a reported 1,224-ballot decline in a previously published mail-ballot total, early in person votes attributed to dates before early voting officially began, and a 27,049-vote discrepancy between Harris County’s reported October 28 turnout and the corresponding state dashboard figure,” Becker wrote. [snip] “But the broader demand for transparency is entirely reasonable. Texas voters deserve a clear, independently verifiable accounting of the numbers,” Becker wrote in his article. “Because when public elections reports change by tens of thousands of votes, and in some comparisons hundreds of thousands, officials should be able to show exactly what changed and why.” Hey Texas! 2,900,000 brand new voters registered to vote Without US citizenship!!! This is how you lost Texas by allowing potential illegals and non-citizens to vote Democrat You’re not angry enough, Texas Demand an investigation and secure your damn election — John Ferguson (@JohnnyWhiskyTX) November 5, 2026 Donald Palmer, a senior legal fellow for election security at The Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Signal that he plans to sit down with experts and pollsters to ask more questions regarding the Texas elections. [snip] The number of registered voters in Texas has continued to rise sharply over the past decade, with 19,041,684 as of 2026, 18,623,931 as of 2024, and 17,672,143 as of 2022. Since Texas does not require proof of citizenship when registering to vote, but only a signed declaration that one is a citizen, the state can’t validate the true citizenship status of registered voters until votes are cast.
