Travis County Democrats said they should have had a finalized contract last week but Republicans are holding things up. They say Republicans don’t want county-wide polling, which allows voters to cast their ballots anywhere in the county, instead of at a specific precinct location, and they say the Republicans want ballots to be hand-counted.
I’m not sure why these primaries are tied together? The voting machines allow for both digital and hand counting. Dems can hold county Wife and republicans can check people at the door if they don’t like it. So let the Dems do what they wanna do, and let the Republicans do what they want to do. It’s not an either/or. 
Or just tell the Republicans to hold their own primary and pay for it out of their own pocket?
