Calls for a paper ballot election system continue from some Hays County residents, even as the county’s Election Equipment Advisory Committee recommended purchasing electronic equipment. 

Disgruntled residents voiced their concerns June 27 regarding the committee’s recommendation to purchase the Hart Verity Touch voting machines due to the lack of a paper audit capability.

The recommendation went to Hays County commissioners July 11, which held a public workshop on the matter. Discussion on the recommendation continued as of press time.
