Overview
- Hunt published a copy of a 2016 provisional ballot and an in‑booth photo he says shows a vote for Trump to rebut ads claiming he did not support Trump.
- The paperwork indicates he attempted to vote on Nov. 4, 2016 at a Harris County library and that the provisional ballot was rejected on Nov. 13, 2016.
- A Hunt spokesman confirmed county records do not list him as having voted in the 2016 general election because the provisional ballot was not counted.
- Texas prohibits the use of phones or cameras in polling places, and Hunt described taking the photo as an excited gesture meant to demonstrate his support.
- Cornyn campaign aide Matt Mackowiak alleged Hunt lied about his military discharge date on a sworn affidavit and urged an investigation, and he later deleted a post that displayed Hunt’s home address after Hunt and Paxton accused him of doxxing.
