Despite tightening polls in the Lone Star State and Donald Trump’s repeated complaints that the election, Texas elections officials will not be increasing voter security throughout the state, reports The Dallas Morning News.

That’s because the voting system in Texas doesn't lend itself to organized voter fraud, according to a spokesperson for the Secretary of State.

“It is incredibly decentralized,” said Alicia Pearce, noting that 254 entities across the state use a variety of voting equipment. “That sort of decentralization coupled with our cross-checks would make predetermining election night results nearly impossible.”
