Recounts in the Hays County District Attorney and County Judge elections upheld the election day results.
Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra and District Attorney-elect Kelly Higgins both maintained leads in their respective races.
“I’d like to let you know that this is the first time in the history of our state that such a race of such a high quantity of votes had been challenged,” Becerra said at a press conference Wednesday. “The Secretary of State told us they have never seen this before. Almost 90,000 ballots are being copied. Although this process isn’t 100% complete because photocopying 90,000 ballots takes a lot of time. But we have reached the point in time where we are very comfortable to say that there have been two races that have been counted.”
