Democratic Texas AG candidate vows to probe Deloitte's role in voter registration delay

Nathan Johnson, a Texas state senator and the Democratic candidate for attorney general, announced that, if elected, he plans to investigate Deloitte and other state vendor contracts in the wake of a software error that resulted in a failure to process voter registrations for what he and a Republican state lawmaker say were at least 178,000 Texans. Johnson, in an exclusive interview with CNBC ahead of the Friday announcement, blamed Texas Republicans for attempting to shrink the state government and outsource essential duties to contractors.
