Election judges dropped by the Harris County Elections Technology Center to pick up Election Day vote center equipment.It was a full house at the Harris County Elections Technology Center throughout the weekend as workers handed off equipment to election judges preparing their respective vote centers ahead of Tuesday's March 5 Primary Election Day.
Hudspeth said unlike last year, when NRG – where the central count occurred — served as one of these sites, the technology center where the final tallying of votes is taking place this time will not function as a rally site due to capacity constraints of the location. Another issue was the AT&T outage that occurred the first week of early voting and interrupted their phone networks and communications. The vote centers and electronic poll books did not encounter these problems because there are backup MP 70s and MiFis — routers that act as mobile Wi-Fi hotspot devices.
"Without election workers, elections don’t work. You think this election’s big, November is going to be three times bigger," she said."In the springtime primaries are different. Children are still in school, spring break and so many things are happening so we don’t get as many volunteers." “If this turnout looks pretty robust — and I think it will be — I think it will be at comparable levels for 2020, you’ll be seeing a different kind of voter in the Democratic primary,” he added. “One that is decidedly younger and decidedly more progressive.”
