No Issues With Contested Primary Races...
The Hill County Elections Commission met in a special session Monday afternoon, March 4, to discuss an issue with uncontested party chairs not being listed on initial ballots distributed to voters of both primaries.
Ballots used at the beginning of early voting and provided to those voting by mail did not include the names of Hill County Republican Party Chair Will Orr or Democratic Party Chair Thom Hanson. While neither had a challenger, those voters did not have the option to cast a vote in favor of their party chair.
The issue was corrected by the third day of early voting, according to information presented at Monday's meeting, and Elections Administrator Aaron Torres contacted Senior Staff Attorney Chuck Pinney with the Texas Secretary of State's Election Division and the county's election machine vendor, Hart Intercivic.
