How Texas Republicans are catering to election deniers in this county

Heider Garcia, Tarrant county's elections administrator, quit after an election crimes taskforce was set up, which critics say undermines confidence

On 22 November 2020, Heider Garcia, the elections administrator for Tarrant county, Texas, was awake in his living room until around 3am, unable to sleep over fears that a stranger might show up at his house, he recalled.

An account had posted his family's home address on Twitter during weeks of false conspiracy theories and death threats about his role in the 2020 election. Donald Trump's supporters refused to believe that Tarrant county, a major, diverse county that encompasses the cities of Fort Worth and Arlington, had broken its Republican voting patterns for Joe Biden.
