Brazos County’s elections administrator makes a presentation to county commissioners the week after her office received criticism during public comments. Trudy Hancock said public comments challenging voter registration records contained correct statistics. But the conclusions drawn by a citizen’s group were wrong.

When the requirement started, the state inserted a date of birth of January 1, 1901. Hancock also said it was legal for voters to reside in RV parks and for voters to use their permanent home address when they are at college or when they are living in nursing homes. Hancock says they have received more than six hundred challenges based on voter residency. So far, more than four hundred have been rejected due to lacking details. For a challenge to be valid, Hancock said that document: 1.Must have an original signature. 2.Must be signed in front of a notary public or similar official. 3.Must establish that the requestor is a registered voter in Brazos County. 4.Must be based on personal knowledge and not hearsay. Commissioner Wanda Watson brought up her prior experience as an election worker, an election judge, and chairwoman of the Brazos County Democratic Party in thanking Hancock and her staff. Hancock and county judge Duane Peters stressed that anyone with a question to contact the elections office.
