After Trump request, Texas auditing 2020 election results in four large counties

Austin — Texas election officials said Thursday night they were auditing the 2020 results in four large counties, hours after former President Trump, continuing to falsely claim the election was stolen, pressed Republican Governor Greg Abbott for a ballot review.

Mr. Trump won Texas last year by 5.5 percentage points, the closest margin of victory by a GOP presidential nominee in decades.

The Texas Secretary of State's Office didn't say what prompted the decision.
