Texas Secretary of State John Scott oversaw four elections since Gov. Greg Abbott appointed him in October 2021.
His announcement comes a month before the start of the legislative session, when the Texas Senate would have considered his permanent appointment to the post.
Scott oversaw four elections during his time as secretary of state. He also supervised an audit of the 2020 elections — which critics have falsely said had outsized voter fraud leading to President Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump — in four of the state’s largest counties.
