Results Of Two Brazos County Special Election Questions Are Ruled Invalid

More than 55,000 Brazos County voters agreed to create two local laws requiring livestock to be fenced in. But the day after the November 5th election, county officials announce that those results are invalid. Brazos County general counsel Bruce Erratt told WTAW News that he learned the day after the election that state law for the livestock special questions restricts voting to Brazos County “freeholders” who are registered to vote in Brazos County. Erratt says he interprets “freeholders” as landowners. Erratt says county officials will be seeking guidance from the secretary of state’s office to conduct a special election if they receive a second round of qualified petitions. Texas state law allows cattle, horses, mules, hogs, sheep, and goats to roam free unless qualified voters approve special questions requiring those animals to be fenced in.
