During a recent meeting of the Brazos County Commissioner's Court, discussions centered on election integrity and procedural matters for the upcoming fiscal year. A speaker emphasized the importance of using hand-marked paper ballots, which would be cross-checked with scanners, advocating for adherence to Senate Bill 924 to ensure secure voting practices.
Concerns were raised regarding the actions of Bexar and Harris Counties, which plan to utilize taxpayer funds to print and distribute voter registration forms without verifying the eligibility of recipients. The speaker highlighted the potential legal implications of this approach, noting that it could include individuals who are felons or noncitizens, thus violating Texas law. The speaker urged the Brazos County Commissioner's Court to refrain from adopting similar practices.
In procedural updates, the court moved to establish a regular meeting schedule for fiscal year 2025, proposing to convene every Tuesday at 10 a.m. in the County Commissioner's Courtroom located at 200 South Texas Avenue, Suite 106. The motion was seconded and approved, setting a clear timeline for future sessions.
