Texas Gets Redder, Again.
Now, Let's Make Dallas County Redder!

Democrats have not won a state-wide election in many years, mainly due to statewide conservative rural areas, which offset the 5 largest blue counties.  Yet they are vowing to get up again and get to work TODAY to work on turning Texas blue! This is how the Democrats turned Dallas County blue...slowly and surely over the last 25+- years.  If nothing else they are very patient.  There were some conservative victories.  All eight of the Court of Appeals candidates recruited under Jennifer's leadership, including the new Chief Justice of the Fifth Court of Appeals, Justice JJ Koch won, and Republicans now dominate the 13 Panel Court.  And Dallas County Republicans managed to keep its two incumbent Texas House Districts, District 108 and District 112, in spite of unprecedented opposition from members of the Dallas County Republican Party. God bless every one of you who put a sign in your yard, block walked for Republicans and helped in any way to get out the vote!  We worked hard and put Trump back in, but not in Dallas County.  In Dallas County, Democrats swept almost every race.

Election of Texas Speaker of the House

On Saturday, December 7th, the Republican House Caucus is meeting at the Capitol in Austin to hold a secret vote and nominate their candidate for House Speaker for the upcoming legislative session. Susan Fountain and I, along with most of the other members of the SREC, will be there to encourage ALL of the Republican Representatives to vote for David Cook as the next Speaker, in part because Rep. Cook has pledged NOT to appoint Democrats to chair committees in the House.

E-Pollbook Problems

On the first day of early voting, Monday, October 21, there were widespread problems with the ES&S E-Pollbooks used in Dallas County to check in voters. The turnout on the first day of early voting was heavy (long lines) and the e-pollbook problems contributed to even longer lines.

The problems resulted in the election workers being kicked off the system frequently requiring new logins every time it happened. The problems occurred every 2 to 10 voters. Worse, as a direct artifact of the core problem, the incorrect ballot style (wrong precinct and/or sub-precinct) and its races being printed for some (but not all) voters. When noticed by election workers or voters, this required spoiling the incorrect ballot and generating new ones. In some cases, this required multiple cycles to generate a correct ballot which consumed more time. One Voting Center reported a total of over 200 spoiled ballots on Monday. For these voters, they ultimately cast corrected ballots but this error caused more time and resulted in even longer lines.

Fortunately, these problems were quickly noticed by our Election Workers (Election Judges and Election Clerks) and reported to DCED. The problem was diagnosed and its causes and effects were found an fixed. A more complete background of the problem and its fix are included in the Dallas County Elections Department press release.
