The live, interactive video conference was designed by the Texas secretary of state’s office and discussed the 19 pro posed constitutional amend ments for the Nov. 6 general election. This was the first time Bryan and College Station were host cities for the teleconference. “The electric town hall meet ings began in August,” said Monica Kennis, training spe cialist for Trans Texas Video Conference Network. “Over 40 cities, including those today, have participated in the electric town hall meetings so far” said Elizabeth Hanshaw- Winn, the director of the legal elections division for the secre tary of state. “And one more electric town hall is set up for next week that will include four more Texas cities.” Hanshaw-Winn said the elec tronic town hall format is an eco nomical way to have people from the secretary of state’s office meet and answer questions directly from cities all over Texas. Kennis said the A&M System has helped organize the video conference in the past, but this was the first time there have been viewing locations open to the public on campus. Video cameras were set up in Scoates Hall, the Ocean and Meteorology Building, Harrington Education Center Classroom Building and the Blocker Building for students and faculty to watch and interact with the town hall meeting. “There have been 567 pro posed amendments to the Texas State Constitution and 390 rati fications,” said Caroline Geppart, a staff attorney for the secretary of state’s office. Geppart said this is a large number when compared to the U.S. Constitution, which only has had 27 amendments. During the meeting, Geppart and Hanshaw took turns reading each of the constitutional amendments to be considered in u There have been 567proposed amendments to the Texas State Constitution and 390 ratifications. — Caroline Geppart, staff attorney for the secretary of state's office the November elections.
