Sonya Witherspoon, a Precinct 3 resident, told the San Patricio County Commissioners Court she has identified what she described as discrepancies in voter precinct assignments and requested a complete list of the county's roughly 45,000 registered voters for further review.

Witherspoon said she has been researching the responsibilities of county election offices and noted San Patricio County uses an appointed election administrator and a separate staff that handles voter registration, voter rolls and election operations, a structure she contrasted with other counties. She said she attended and observed parts of the October election process that were open to the public.

Witherspoon told the court she saw records indicating some voters appear assigned to precincts far from their residences, that some registered voters list Corpus Christi addresses and that one precinct chair appeared assigned to the wrong voting precinct. She said one county employee who releases voter data also handled uploads into the county's election accounting computer and that the same employee had been observed on Facebook during work hours. She said she would provide the full details and records she gathered to the election administrator after finishing her review.

The county did not take formal action during the public comment item. Court members acknowledged the comment and continued with the agenda.
