KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — Kaufman County 422nd District Court Judge B. Michael Chitty has ordered the Kaufman County Election Administrator to verify a provisional ballot in the race for Kaufman County Court at Law No. 1.
The race, between incumbent Dennis Jones and challenger Tracy Booker Gray, is currently contested by one vote – 5,473 to 5,472, respectively.
With election canvassing expected on Thursday, a temporary restraining order was granted which orders Brenda Samples, the election administrator for Kaufman County, to immediately run the voter information on a single provisional ballot through the Texas Department of Public Safety’s portal to confirm the voter’s registration – an action that has been refused by the office up to this point. If the voter’s registration is confirmed, the Kaufman County Republican Party, by and through William Bedrick and the Ballot Board, is ordered to count this single provisional ballot.
