Ballot board members are now working in 12-hour shifts to accurately replicate the ballots so they can be counted.
County elections administrator Heider Garcia told county commissioners in a meeting Tuesday the problem is with a bar code printed on the ballots, that is not 100-percent legible. Garcia said the problem was discovered Sunday as the ballot board started opening envelopes and putting completed ballots into scanners.
Tarrant County moved away from in-house ballot printing this year, contracting with Runbeck Election Services in Phoenix, Arizona. The move was due to the anticipated increase in mail-in ballot requests.
