Postcards Asking Fort Worth Residents to ‘Verify Votes’ Online is a Scam

TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — Officials in Tarrant County are warning the public to be on alert after they said local voters received postcards asking them to find out if their vote counted in the recent Fort Worth runoff elections.

These postcards, officials said, did not come from Tarrant County, nor did they come from the Tarrant County Elections Office or any county official.

“We have no knowledge of who is sending it nor why,” said Tarrant County Elections Administrator Heider Garcia.

“Be careful!,” Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson said. “Be cautious about giving someone you don’t know your name, address, email or any other information. You don’t know what they will do with your information.”

Tarrant County said it has no control over any information submitted to this third-party website.
