We rebuilt the heart of TEAM in about an hour.

TEAM is the Secretary of State’s election management system. It takes in each county’s record of who voted and puts out the state’s roster, the one our briefs below check county by county.

Our lead developer and Claude, an AI coding assistant, built a working proof of concept of that piece in about an hour. A county sends its own poll-book file, two officials sign for it, and the public sees who voted, name by name. Corrections took another 15 minutes.

Our build time, with Claude

The demo videos, the working demo, and the sources are all on the site. Every voter there is invented. This is a proof of concept, not a finished system, and not a pitch for a contract.

A message to the Texas Secretary of State: just fix it.

A Texas election documentary

Why don’t the numbers match?

Every Texas county publishes a reconciliation report. The state publishes an official vote total. Put the two side by side and they disagree — county after county, election after election. We have been asking about the gap since 2022. Nobody has answered.

Texas Lost Votes

The whole case, laid out in twelve minutes: where the reconciliation reports come from, what boxes E and H actually mean, and what happens when you subtract one from the other and compare the answer to the state’s official count.

The objection we hear most

Are our numbers wrong?

It is a fair question and we would rather answer it than dodge it. This walks through the arithmetic line by line, using the counties’ own published documents, so you can check the work yourself.

Texas deserves better

Check it yourself

None of this asks you to take our word for it. Every number below comes from a document the state or the county published.

What is a lost vote?

The definition, the formula, and a worked example from Brazos County — the county that publishes the most and so lets us show the most.

Follow-up investigations

The Texas audits, reviewed

Texas ran what it called a full forensic audit, and certified the machines that counted the votes. We read the reports. Here is what we found.

Are our election machines properly certified?

What the certification paperwork for the machines counting Texas ballots actually says — and what it leaves out.

The “full forensic audit”, phase one

A review of the first phase of the audit Texas promised, and how much of the question it actually set out to answer.

Help every Texan know what is happening

We can’t do this alone

This information needs to reach every Texas citizen, every elected representative, and every non-elected servant who touches an election. Someone in Texas government needs to stand up and answer the question.

State government

Please share this with your state officials — the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and your own house and senate representatives.

Find your state reps

Federal

Your federal representatives need to know as well. Forward this to both Texas senators and to your member of the House.

Find your rep Contact senators

County and social

Your county officials must hold the state accountable:

  • County Judge
  • County Commissioners
  • County DA and Sheriff
  • County Elections Office

Let them know that ignoring the issue is not an option — and post the documentary on your own social platforms.

Questions, corrections, or a reconciliation report we are missing — we want to hear about all three. If you think a number here is wrong, tell us and show us; we will publish the correction.
