Resident asks Brazos County to form citizen–administrator task force to review alleged 'ghost' voters
Summary
During public comment, Cindy Wiley said she identified potential 'ghost' voters and requested a task force of citizens and the elections administrator to vet the data and report to the court; the request was taken under advisement by the court.
Cindy Wiley of Precinct 1 told the Commissioners Court she had reviewed voter‑roll data and believed she found instances where people listed as having voted did not appear in contemporary registration lists. She referenced statewide actions (Senate Bill 1 and recent investigations) and said Brazos County had been flagged as having "21 noncitizens" in the rolls.
Wiley said she began with a list of about 441 potential anomalies and narrowed the list after removing Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) registrations and other categories. She asked the court to create a citizen–administrator task force, jointly led by concerned residents and the county elections administrator, with oversight from the court, to vet the data and report back.
The elections administrator, Trudy Hancock, gave her audit presentation later in the meeting and did not directly adjudicate Wiley’s specific claims on the public record. Commissioners acknowledged the request; no formal task‑force motion or vote was recorded in this meeting.
