County wins grant for voting machines in Ector County
Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams announced an $855000 grant to Ector County to fund Help America Vote Act compliant voting machines. County Judge Jerry Caddel welcomed the news noting the funding is nearly three times the hoped for amount and will cover 175 to 200 machines across about 35 precincts with hopes to have units in place by November for the state election. The contract outlines vendor choice and 30 day reimbursement after invoicing with possible use of remaining funds for other HAVA expenses and capital needs including jail repairs.

Officials cited fixed-asset depreciation reviews and restatements through 2003 as delaying factors, with lenders likely to grant extensions but a failure could trigger NYSE delisting.
