Residents and election watchers raise chain-of-custody, camera and countywide-voting concerns at Williamson County court

Several residents and appointed poll watchers told the Williamson County Commissioners Court on Feb. 12 that they observed problems with voting‑site cameras, ballot transfers and ballot‑package handling during the 2024 early voting period and called for process changes and further county review.

The comments came during the court’s public comment period and were delivered by multiple speakers, including a county resident who said he monitored election cameras, a GOP precinct chair who led a volunteer audit team, a poll watcher who followed a ballot box from a polling site, and local party activists.

Vince Sall, of Georgetown, told the court he monitored nine election cameras during the November 2024 election and said only three were online during early voting on Nov. 1 and that one central‑count camera “was not online until after central count station had convened on 11/02/2024.” He said the lack of online cameras “during handling of ballot boxes is a clear violation of the Texas Election Code.”
