The Texas Sec of State released their Poll Watchers training Video 10 days before early voting. The access to it is buried in their antiquated system. It’s ridiculously hard to find. You have to jump through hoops and the website with the training is glitchy. Usernames and passwords are consistently rejected. The timing makes it almost impossible for poll watchers to have the mandated credentials in time for the Primary Election. @SKeshel

Thank you to those who made it out for tonight's Watcher Training. It was great to see the turnout, we appreciate your engagement and welcome you aboard. Please remember to get your Secretary of State Certification completed and print off a copy, It is your admission to go verify the integrity of your own elections. #NewRequirements #SB1

Louie Gomert understands the importance of sequentially numbered ballots (2:10 mark ). It is vital we push to change our ballots back to sequentially numbering in order to keep accurate count. https://www.dropbox.com/s/47wkc48p5d6p7xf/Election%20Video%202-2022.mov?dl=0

We need people at 11 polling locations on Friday to see the closeout and monitor chain of custody and printing of tape. Where are you working? #GetInvolved

Bring extra forms in case of any issues. We need 2-4 people at Central Count to receive the equipment and take chain of custody notes. NOTES NOTES NOTES!

Would also be good (if possible) to have someone already-postioned at Central-Count (already checked in) and ready to witness election materials (scanner machines, ballot boxes, etc...) arriving on-site there at the Hays County Elections Department... and possibly witness the printing of *RESULTS* tapes from the scanner machines *before* any thumb drives are removed from them.

Kelsey will be at the Government Center along with Michelle 4:00 p.m. - Close

CHECK THE TAGS

Watch for USB movement and security

Don't forget to bring a Name Tag. Have a great shift.
