    Mattress Mack files lawsuit against Harris County regarding 2022 election problems

    The Gallery Furniture owner is claiming Harris County Elections Officer Clifford Tatum withheld documents that could shed additional light on problems that happened during Election Day.

    HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- In an unusual move, furniture store owner and philanthropist Jim McIngvale, known as Mattress Mack, will file a lawsuit to get answers regarding the 2022 November election in Harris County.

    The Gallery Furniture owner said that there were problems regarding the election. He has recently appeared in advertisements supporting Republican nominee Alexandra del Moral Mealer, who lost the Harris County Judge's race to incumbent Democrat Lina Hidalgo.

    The lawsuit claims that Clifford Tatum, the Harris County Elections Administrator, is withholding documents that McIngvale believes will shed light on problems that came up during the election.

    Those problems include shortages of paper ballots in some precincts, machine glitches, and even paper jams, all of which were admitted by the county in a report.

    Some leaders also cited the Houston Astros' World Series parade as the cause of why voting centers opened late.

    A private investigator, Wayne Dolcefino, is working with Mattress Mack to obtain the documents. The lawsuit states that Harris County won't give up the documents due to other pending lawsuits.

    "It's really not political. When the elections administrator was asked what went wrong with the election, the comment was the Astros parade, I mean, really? There's a problem with the process, and the process needs to be fair for all Houstonians and all Texans," McIngvale said.

    There is no evidence of a case where a documented Harris County voter that wanted to vote was not able to cast a ballot due to any of the issues named.\

    There is some talk about whether the election should be redone in Republican circles.

    Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick called for a new election, which only a court can order. And the evidence for it would have to be extraordinary.

    The Harris County Attorney's Office spoke with ABC13 on Monday and said that the documents being requested by Mattress Mack and Dolcefino were handled the same way as any other requests.

    A spokesperson from the office said it will evaluate the lawsuit and let the court handle it.

    I hate that Mack is a ****ing Trumper. Otherwise, he is great. He's getting a little senile in his old age.

    As Nook has always said. Mattress Mack has always been a coke filled grifter selling cheap furniture to poor people for ridiculously high interest rates.

    An American city embracing a loser like this say everything about our decaying society and worshiping of "small business owners".

    I always got the snivelling salesman aura from him. I really don't see what people see in this guy. No different than the many auto dealership owners and their scumminess.

    Mack is an old man, who only looks out for himself, he is a genius at marketing but so was Trump - getting people to buy new half assed furniture for too much money in the hopes a team wins and they get their money back is genius.

    But he is simply a man after attention - a weird old - get off my lawn idiot.

    Didn't Wayne Dolcefino used to work for a local news channel? The name sounds familiar.

    Anyway, I wish Mack would just be apolitical. I don't care what his political positions are, but he's not doing himself or his legacy any favors by leaning hard into this field.

    He is a big time conservative. He's on late at night talking about conservative values in some speech or something to some group but me not having cable and working late I've seen it several times

    They have a compelling argument about the release of voting records, and if it were coming from a non-conservative or an independent I would give it more credence. As it is, it just seems like more election denying, laying the groundwork for challenges in 2024 and more fuel for voter suppression.

    Mack - you got my business for putting up people during Harvey and you lost it with this bullshit.

    Yup, Wayne was on ABC during the 90s. He was an investigative reporter back then but he had a clear bias even back then. He actually railroaded Mayor Turner in the 90s and there was a libel case that went to the Texas Supreme Court (and I believe Dolcefino lost the case).

    There has always been a level of politics with business and media but its just gotten a lot more transparent and brazen in the last few years. I also wish he'd pretend to be apolitical. He has earned a lot of goodwill from the community. There's little upside to being nakedly partisan.
