Statement From Jude Prather on City Election Recount

I want to congratulate Mr. Bose on his re-election. I said when I started running that I want to be a bridge between the university and the community, between the
east and west sides of town, between businesses and neighborhoods. A state district court lawsuit challenging the election results would further divide
the town and I won’t do that.

At the same time, we must make sure now that every registered voter is allowed to vote in future elections. We will continue to collect affidavits from citizens who were denied their right to vote for a variety of questionable reasons and provide these to
the media within the next two weeks. It is important to me that we demonstrate there were irregularities in this election that must not happen again.

I hope Mr. Bose will show that he is willing to reach out to those citizens, especially younger residents and minorities, who feel disenfranchised from our city’s governments. Next week, I will be proposing that a polling location be set up on campus for the entire duration of early voting in future city
elections as a step toward making sure every citizen gets a vote and every vote counts.

Why would the city expand early voting at Texas State and not all the other locations? That would be bias.

I'm a student and I disagree with you. I don't need special privileges, I can go like every other citizen to the City Library to vote.

Are you try to say we are too lazy to go like everyone else in this city to the City Library to vote?

I think uniting this town is an excellent plan and doing this would be the opposite. It would cause more resentment from the town having bias election voting locations.

Name: City of San Marcos

Jude and Brad Rollins just need to go away and understand that the citizens here do not care for either one of them. They need to become on of San Marcos's greatest export, a college student so graduate and be gone.

I believe the last comment made by "City of San Marcos" was inappropriate and completely false. The election proved that half of the community wanted Jude Prather to represent them and not Gaylord Bose. If you are going to comment, at least seem somewhat intelligent and not ignorant on San Marcos. I see you live and talk to a small group of people. I would suggest branching out and visiting with more individuals in the community before making ignorant comments like the one made here.
