Harris County Texas has a massive problem with illegal names being on the voter registration list. There are over 600,000 names with illegal addresses out of 2.6 million registered voters and 400,000 of these names are people who now live out of Harris County or out of the state. This is based on an analysis by Russ Ramsland who owns a data analytics firm in Dallas. He worked with the Trump White House to identify vote fraud after the 2020 election. He has investigated vote fraud by computer in Mesa, Colorado, in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Texas. He is an expert in the field.
Russ Ramsland evaluated the Harris County voter registration list as of August 24, 2024 and ran it against the U.S. Post Office National Change of Address (NCOA). He found approximately 600,000 names on the voter registration list with illegal addresses. Approximately 400,000 of these names on the voter registration list lived outside of Harris County or outside the State of Texas.
According to the Texas Election Code, §15.022, every county is required to update their voter registration list with the NCOA every month and eliminate those names of people that have moved.
Since 2016, when the Democrats won the election for the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Office, which serves as the voter registrar for Harris County, the voter registration list has not been updated.
Of the 400,000 illegal names on the voter registration list who live outside the county or the state, 205,000 voted in the 2024 General Election. The Democrats keep these names on the voter file and then vote them as needed.
In 2012 Ted Cruz carried Harris County by approximately 200,000 votes. In 2018 he lost by 200,000 votes, though he carried the vote statewide. That’s a 400,000 vote swing which statistically cannot have occurred without vote fraud. Harris County had been a red county prior to the Democrats taking over the Tax Assessor-Collector Office in 2016. The county then turned completely blue. It seems that it should be obvious that the Democrats have been stealing elections in Harris County.
On October 22, 2024, Dr. Hotze filed a lawsuit in Harris County in Texas State District Court 157, presided over by Democrat Judge Tanya Garrison, Hotze v. Bennett, which would require the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector to clean up the voter registration list. Joining Hotze as plaintiffs in this lawsuit were Sid Miller, Texas Agricultural Commissioner and two Republican candidates, Joe Trahan, who ran for State Senate District 15, and Caroline Kane, who ran for Congressional
District 7.
An audit was conducted in Harris County after the 2024 General Election by the Democrats who oversaw the election. As you would expect, the Democrats found no vote fraud.
Hotze requested in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 1, 2025, that she direct the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the voter registration list in Harris County that has over 600,000 illegal mailing addresses. Hotze received a letter from the Justice Department dated September 8, 2025 from Edward Sullivan, Acting Chief, Public Integrity Section, instructing him to contact the local FBI. If the FBI determined that there had been a federal violation, then the Department of Justice informed him that they would become involved. The local FBI Director of Election Integrity has ignored Dr. Hotze’s phone calls.
The first court hearing in Hotze v. Bennett was on April 10, 2025. The Harris County Attorney’s office, under the direction of Christian Menefee, the then County Attorney, made a motion for Judge Garrison to dismiss the case, stating that none of the plaintiffs had standing to file a lawsuit against the Tax Assessor-Collector.
When Judge Garrison, a Democrat, asked the attorney for the county, “If these plaintiffs don’t have standing then who would have standing to bring this lawsuit?” The county attorney said, “No one has standing to bring the lawsuit.” Judge Garrison disagreed and denied their motion to dismiss the case.
On April 28, 2025 the Harris County Attorney then filed an appeal to the First Court of Appeals, styled Annette Ramirez v. Steven F. Hotze, M.D., et al., challenging Judge Garrison’s ruling. Ramirez is the current Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector.
On November 11, 2025 State Representative and attorney Briscoe Cain filed an amicus brief with the First Court of Appeals for over 50 elected officials and conservative leaders. The amicus brief supported the legal standing of Steven F. Hotze, M.D. and the other plaintiffs. Additionally, on November 20, 2025, U.S. Senator John Cornyn issued a news release supporting Hotze’s lawsuit.
Unbelievably, the First Court of Appeals which has 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats judges, overruled Democrat Judge Garrison’s decision that Dr. Hotze and the other plaintiffs had standing to bring this lawsuit.
On Monday, February 18, 2026, the attorney for the plaintiffs, Jared Woodfill J.D., filed a Petition for Review with the Texas Supreme Court appealing that it reverse the decision by the First Court of Appeals and give standing to Dr. Hotze and the other plaintiffs to bring this lawsuit. State Representatives Steve Toth and Briscoe Cain have also joined as plaintiffs.
In this appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, Jared Woodfill defends the legal standing of these plaintiffs to sue the current Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, Annette Ramirez, to remove over 600,000 of illegal names on the voter registration list in Harris County.
This lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, the Voter Registrar of Harris County, regarding hundreds of thousands of illegal names on the Harris County voter registration list.
Because the previous Tax Assessor-Collector, Ann Bennett, chose not to fulfill her statutory duties, the Harris County voter registration roll contains over 400,000 names of persons who no longer live in Harris County.
Additionally, there are thousands of illegal names of voters who have died, voters who are felons, voters who have registered at post office or private mail boxes with commercial mail receiving agencies (“CMRAs”), scores of voters who are not related to each other but have registered at the same address, voters who have registered at a commercial address and do not reside there, and voters who claim to live on vacant property with no structure.
The Harris County voter registration list has not been updated since Democrats took control of the Tax Assessor-Collector’s office in 2016. This is a violation of the Texas Election Code §15.022 which requires the tax assessor collector in every county to update the registered voter file on a monthly basis using the National Change of Address from the U.S. Post Office.
Texans have every right to be concerned about vote fraud when hundreds of thousands of illegal names in Harris County are being illegally voted in every election cycle. This is also occurring in other Democrat controlled counties across the state. It is critical that election integrity be protected. The Texas Supreme Court should reverse the First Court of Appeals ruling and grant legal standing to the plaintiffs in this lawsuit to clean up the Harris County voter registration list.
By cleaning up the voter registration list, Harris County will undoubtedly be controlled by the Republicans. This will also ensure that the Democrats will not turn Texas purple or blue.
