The Texas Secretary of State's Office could cut funding for elections in Harris County after state Sen. Paul Bettencourt discovered more than 100 voters registered at P.O. boxes.

Early voting is ongoing in the special election for Tennessee's open congressional seat. Behn faces Republican nominee Matt Van Epps.
