We can not go back to a box and pull out a ballot or give a second ballot to a voter. So that’s something that will have to be dealt with after the election if it has an impact or not."“Absolutely. The problem had nothing to do with voting or counting votes,” Garcia said.Wait times in Dallas County may be a bit longer because the Dallas city residents have 18 charter amendments to review. Election officials say one of the best things you can do is review your sample ballot online. This way, you'll know your decision before stepping into the voting booth.
