Dallas County GOP plans to hand count ballots cast on election day for March 3 primary

Leaders of the Dallas County Republican Party voted this week to hand-count all ballots cast for the March 3 primary.

Party Chairman Allen West said on Wednesday that he and members of their Executive Committee have been concerned for years about the systems the county uses.

He cited an error that was found in tabulation machines before last year's election, which was corrected, among other issues.

Conducting a hand count could be cost-prohibitive, which is why West said the party hasn't made a final decision yet.

It's easier to come up with the results you need when you lag behind everyone else. tanyev Sep 2025 #3

The Republican Senate primary is expected to be close and I know the Democratic nominee will want to know who the opponent will be in the November of 2026 elections.

I think they may change their mind, when they think logically about this.
