Texas glitch delays 600K voter registrations ahead of midterms; rights groups sue

A technical glitch in Texas delayed processing of roughly 600,000 voter registrations, prompting lawsuits from voting rights groups against state agencies. The delay threatens to disenfranchise voters ahead of early voting, with uncertainty over how many will be resolved in time. This is a first major administrative failure of the 2026 midterm cycle, raising concerns about election integrity and access.
