Brazos County commissioners hear about the work of a group looking through voter registration records. During public comments at Tuesday’s (July 23) meeting, Cindy Wiley said those records need to be cleaned up. One example described by Wiley was that she found 54 people who had the same birthdate of January 1 of 1901. Elections administrator Trudy Hancock told WTAW News that those voters have a false date of birth because when they registered, state law did not require that or other personal information. Hancock says Texas is one of the most stringent states when it comes to removing people from voter registration records…adding that most of the time that is done by the state. County commissioners by state law were not allowed to respond to Wiley because her comments were not part of an agenda item.
