The lies that permeated after the 2020 election have taken hold in almost every part of Texas, including ultra-red counties that Trump won by fifty points. Gillespie County, which is in the heart of hill country, now faces the daunting challenge of holding an election without an election administrator.
According to the Fredericksburg Standard, the current election administrator Anissa Herrera is leaving her post this week. In the wake of the 2020 election, she said she received a deluge of threats that even prompted her to call the police. In 2020, Donald Trump won Gillespie County with 79 percent of the vote.
Herrera isn’t the only member of the election department to leave. The Standard noted that other members of the election staff experienced so much harassment they felt compelled to hire off duty law enforcement and other security personnel to ensure their safety.
Now, Gillespie County faces the daunting challenge of holding an election without an election administrator. Their County Judge, Mark Stoeher told the Standard that he would be contacting the Secretary of State’s office about guidance for conducting the election.
Around the country, election workers have been harassed and terrorized over the false claims about a stolen election. At the highest levels, Texas has officials that have fomented those lies.
