According to our news partner KETK and the Longview News-Journal, Smith County&#8217;s Karen Nelson was issued a summons last week. It comes after the Texas secretary of state released a list claiming to include 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. Critics now claim many of those names came from outdated information from DPS driver&#8217;s license records. Nelson is named in two lawsuits.  The Harrison County elections administrator is named in one, but that position is vacant after the administrator&#8217;s recent resignation. Wood County Elections Administrator Laura Wise is also named in one of the suits. A hearing is scheduled February 22nd at the federal courthouse in Galveston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EAST TEXAS &#8212; At least three East Texas elections administrators have been named in voting lawsuits against Texas.
