Rumor versus Reality

Elections are “rigged.”

The state of Texas goes above and beyond to secure your vote. Some of the “security” features in place to guarantee your elections are accurate:

• All equipment is subject to public testing, including HASH validation.

• A partial hand count is required after the election to verify the tabulations of the ballots.

• There is a paper ballot trail for verification on every vote cast.

• A reconciliation between the number of voters and the number of ballots is required and published after every election.

• Chain of custody of every ballot including how many ballots were ordered and where they were distributed is required.

• None of the election equipment is hooked to the internet, a chain of custody is in place with security seals for tracking and validation purposes.

• Two-person verification of all election practices with required signatures.

• Audits both on a state level and on a county level.

• If you want to learn more about the election process feel free to come by or call the Colorado County Election Center; 979-732-6860 or 1117 Travis St., Columbus, or on the web https:// www.co.colorado.tx.us/page/colorado. Elections .
