Several residents cast doubt on the ballot counting and recording practices of Hays County heading into election season.
For the fourth consecutive Hays County Commissioners Court meeting, residents voiced their concerns during public comment regarding Cast Vote Records (CVRs) from the November 2020 General Election.
“Today, Hays County has given two different explanations for why the CVRs and several reports from the 2020 election cannot be examined,” Laura Nunn said. “The first explanation was that a few months ago, we were told that the Windows upgrade approved by the Commission in May of 2021 caused all data to be overwritten and unrecoverable. But then last week, we were told that it was because the settings in Hart’s software prevented the November 2020 election from even being electronically recorded.”
