Texas bill calls to forensic audit 13 counties; LA sheriff DEFIES orders won’t enforce mask mandate

After the months-long Arizona audit, lawmakers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have pushed for their own reviews, and so has Texas. On Monday, Texas State Rep. Steve Toth introduced a bill to audit election results in the THIRTEEN most populous counties. Although Texas isn’t among the contested states, Toth felt the effort is necessary to reassure voters. The nation’s largest county Los Angeles reinstated an indoor mask mandate, causing distrust among local authorities and residents. Starting this past Saturday, people regardless of their vaccination status, are required to wear masks. However the county’s Sheriff Alex Villanueva is not on board. In a Friday statement, he wrote “Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the CDC’s guidelines.” #Trump #Texas #LASheriff
