This podcast contains an interview with Brazos County elections administrator Trudy Hancock and WTAW's Scott Delucia and an unidentified voter asking Trudy Hancock questions about modified voting machines.

The Brazos County elections office has unveiled modified voting machines using paper ballots, as required by a new state law.

Brazos County voters had the opportunity Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning to use the machines in advance of the November general election.

Elections administrator Trudy Hancock the ballots contain no voter identity information. And the machines are not connected to the internet.

Hancock says voters enter the booth with a blank paper ballot. After voters made their choices on the computer screen, voters print a copy and take it to a scanner to be counted.

Voter registration ends October 4. There are contested elections for College Station city council and College Station ISD school board and a CSISD bond election. Voters statewide will consider eight proposed amendments to the Texas constitution.
