AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Secretary of State John Scott, who is the state’s top election official, will resign at the end of the year.
On Monday, Scott sent a letter of resignation to Gov. Greg Abbott saying his last day will be Dec. 31, according to a copy obtained by The Dallas Morning News.
In the letter, Scott said he believes he has restored faith in Texas elections and that his overseeing the creation of a forensic election audit team allows him to leave the office with a sense of pride.
