Guadalupe County Elections Administrator releases voter number results for March Primary Elections

Guadalupe County works to wrap up March 3 Republican, Democratic Primary Elections By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Guadalupe County Elections officials are applauding what they say was a very smooth and successful election process during last week's March 3 Republican and Democratic Primary Elections. Guadalupe County Elections Administrator Lisa Hayes says the feedback on early voting and election day has been great. "For us, I think the experience was amazing. The turnout was tremendous. The voters really came out. They made their voices heard. They were enthusiastic about voting and we love to see that. We love to see that. We do a lot of work to ensure that the elections go as smoothly as possible and so when we feel that the voters actually take advantage of that opportunity, it makes us very happy," said Hayes. Hayes says she believes the reported numbers during the Primary is only a springboard for what will be a record setting presidential election. "We've got our final unofficial results which, of course, are not the official results until all (the end) results have been canvassed so that's an important distinction because we will still have mail ballots out that are potentially

countable. We have provisional ballots that may still be countable and all of that won't really be determined until the canvass and I believe the parties are canvassing on March 12. So, after the party canvasses, then these will be official results. Until then, they are unofficial. But, what we did see, we saw that 13,062 people voted on election day. We had 12, 640 vote early and 1, 712 voted by mail and that resulted in a turnout of approximately 26.17 percent which is tremendous for a primary election," said Hayes. Hayes says her office started a long time ago planning for this record turnout throughout Guadalupe County and is appreciative to all those who showed up to the polls. "We hoped going into this that we

were going to have a high turnout because the voters had been very interested in the electoral process even since the Constitution

Amendment Election back in November. They were already starting to turn out in larger numbers and so we were expecting more people to come out and vote in the primary and we did see that. The turnout in the early voting portion of the election was much higher than we expected and election day turned out to be quite impressive also. I think it took them a little longer to get started on election day. We had a little while there that we

thought maybe we weren't going to see as many people but they sure did come out in droves by the end of the afternoon and we did end up with some lines at 7 o'clock and of course, as always, voters already in line at 7 can vote. So, that resulted in some of our results coming out a little later than we like to see them but we got our voters who were in line voted and we were able to get everything wrapped up and get results out there and that's what we tried to do," said Hayes. Hayes says it's a priority for her office to make the election process as easy and as simple as possible. She says it's not always easy but if it benefits the voters, then it's all worth it. "We are doing everything we can to keep the lines down. That's one of our primary goals in any election is to put

enough equipment out that we don't have long lines. We pride ourselves in keeping the lines down as much as possible. Part of the challenge we face with this is that it is not only the matter how much equipment we have as a county but how much equipment we can fit into a particular voting location. So, that is part of the challenge of trying to predict how many voters are going to vote and where they are going to vote because Vote Centers are so much more convenient for voters but it does present a little bit of a logistical challenge for us because now we have absolutely no way to tell where they are going to vote. We can look at historical data but that isn't always an accurate presentation where the voters are going to decide this election or how many voters are going to decide. So, it is an ongoing process that presents challenges and gives us opportunities to do a little creative problem solving and try to come up with something that we think will make things better next time," said Hayes. Although, they are still wrapping up the Primary Elections, Hayes says work has already begun for the Tuesday, Nov. 3 Presidential Election. Until then, she ask voters or potential voters to check out their website for information regarding a change of address, to confirm a voter registration and/or to obtain a mail-in ballot if necessary.

On the job support

Seguin ISD increases secondary sub pay to address shortage

Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office raises money for Relay for Life by putting down the razors

"Deputy (Elaine) Reamer brought up the idea. She is our captain of our Relay for Life team and she presented that idea to me and asked me what I thought about it and I said 'well, we raised a descent amount of money throughout October, November, December - why not present it to the sheriff and see if we can't get it for a couple of months for Relay for Life and see if we can't get the guys to donate some more money for some more research," said White. Each deputy who wishes to participate will contribute $50 a month for beards, $25 a month for goatees and for the ladies, $25 a month for purple nails. White says Relay for Life is a great cause which all the deputies want to support.

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Beards, goatees and purple nails are apparently how the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office "Relays." Showing support for cancer prevention and research will be on the job for Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office employees as they work to raise money for next month's Guadalupe County Relay for Life. As part of a Relay for Life team effort, male employees at the sheriff's office will be growing out their beards and goatees while the women will be sporting purple fingernails. Sgt. Donnie White says the effort is being held as an extension of its annual No Shave November contest. White says each fall, sheriff's employees raise money for the Guadalupe Regional Medical Foundation’s Cancer Assistance Fund and for the Santa Sheriff Program. However, this year, the group wanted to resurrect the idea for the spring in hopes of raising money for Relay for Life.

"Unfortunately, we work shift work so some of the guys will be on duty that night but they show up and show their participation and support. For the other ones who are off duty, we bring our families and just go and enjoy the events and have fun with it but there is no contest on this one. This is strictly we are allowed to grow our beards, the girls are allowed to paint their nails purple. There's no contest but the stipulation of this one is that everything has to be neat and trimmed and you can't be all shaggy looking," said White.

As a result, Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez says the school district has increased the daily rate for middle and high school substitutes Gutierrez says that the shortage is not by $20. unique to Seguin ISD. "We are experiencing a substitute teacher shortage unlike anything we have experienced in recent years, especially at the two middle schools," said Gutierrez.

"Many other school districts are experiencing the same challenges. When the economy is doing well, school districts tend to struggle to fill substitute positions," said Gutierrez.

The additional $20 will increase the middle and high school substitute daily rate to $105 for those with a high school This year's Relay for Life Celebration will be held from 5 p.m. diploma, $110 for 60 or more college to midnight Saturday, April 18 at the El Fiesta Ballroom.

Interested substitutes willing to serve at the middle and high schools are encouraged to contact the Seguin ISD Human Resources Department at 830-401-8628.

The Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office would also like to extend the offer to all citizens who wish to support the cause by giving a donation to The Relay for Life in the name of Team Guadalupe County Sheriffs Office. The fundraising effort will continue through the end of April. The sheriff's office can be contacted at 830-379-1224.

WHO Urges Governments "Pull Out All Stops" To Fight Coronavirus Former USAID Director Says U.S. Coronavirus Cases Are 'Tip Of The Iceberg'

(Undated) -- The World Health Organization is urging governments around the world to pull out "all the stops" in the scramble to keep up with the spreading coronavirus outbreak. The organization's director general said Thursday, "This is not a drill, this is not a time for excuses." The outbreak that began in China in December has now infected more than 95thousand people in 86 countries. More than 32-hundred people have died, including at least a dozen in the U.S.

Trump Disagrees With Mortality Rate Associated With COVID-19 (Washington, DC) -- President Trump is taking issue with the mortality rate experts say is associated with the novel coronavirus. The World Health Organization puts it at threepoint-four-percent but Trump claims that's a "false number." On Fox News' Hannity, the President said his "hunch," after talking to a lot of people is that the COVID-19 death rate is "way under one-percent." Eleven people in the U.S. have died of the virus and more than 160 have gotten infected.

(Washington, DC) -- A former director of the U.S. Agency for International Development says the number of U.S. cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus is likely just the tip of the iceberg. Jeremy Konyndyk [[ CON-dyke ]] told CNBC's Squawk Box that the numbers are small because of testing shortfalls. Konyndyk said as more people are infected, it could strain the U.S. health care system.

Health Experts On How COVID-19 Coronavirus Is Spread (New York, NY) -- The novel coronavirus that's spread to more than 60 countries is transmitted through droplets. Health experts say whether you contract it from an infected person depends on how much time you spend around that individual and if you're closer than six-feet away. It also depends on whether that individual is sneezing, coughing or breathing on you and whether you then touch your face because COVID-19 enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes. So, kissing can definitely spread it but health experts say coronaviruses aren't typically spread through sex. There's evidence COVID-19 can remain alive on surfaces for as long as nine days.
