That investigation found no evidence of ballot fraud.Aguirre was working as a paid investigator for an organization called the Liberty Center for God and Country, led by Republican activist Steven Hotze, according to court documents.In a statement, DA Kim Ogg said she was confident in the results of the investigation."We all worked together to ensure our elections, which are the lifeblood of democracy, were free and fair and that any and all allegations were thoroughly investigated," Ogg said.Read the task force findings below.Fill out the form below to subscribe our new daily editorial newsletter from the HPM Newsroom.· The 41-year-old Spring man faces murder and tampering with evidence charges in the death of 29-year-old Taylor Pomaski, whose remains were found in December 2021 in north Harris County.· On Thursday's show: The case for more prosecutors at the DA's office, a new book follows several Houston families repeatedly rocked by flooding, and actor Kal Penn talks about his career and about changing the way Indian-Americans are depicted in TV and film.· The move comes in direct response to allegations from the mayor's former housing director, who called the selection process for federal Harvey relief funds a "charade" to steer millions to a favored developer.· The state agency last week announced a “full forensic audit” in Harris, Dallas, Tarrant and Collin counties. But based on details released Tuesday, it appears the scope of the effort may be more limited than what the term may suggest.
