Gillespie County Commissioners’ Court appoint precinct election judges/alternates

Gillespie County Commissioners met on Monday and declined to take action after some residents spoke in favor of switching the November General Election to a hand-count system because of fears for the potential hacking of voting machines.  Jim Riley, the elections administrator, spoke against it saying that ballots are hand-marked, then tabulated with a scanner.  Gillespie County Judge Daniel Jones is waiting to hear back from the Secretary of State’s office regarding some questions the county has regarding this issue.
