According to the Boerne Star, more than 2,100 Kendall County voters made their way to the polls on Monday to cast their ballots on the first day of early voting which is already more than 5% of registered voters. There is only one local race on the ballot which is the Justice of the Peace in Precinct 1 but it’s the state races that voters excited with over 19 million registered voters, a record for Texas. 

A software error has caused a problem with Texas Registration logs however, causing voters who were attempting to update their records to enter an extra address validation. This led to many updated records incomplete and missing the address all together. This latest issue arises only days after Texas election officials said they cleared an earlier voter registration backlog, and was caused by a software update for the Texas Department of Public Safety-as of now more than 500,000 registration since last October have been impacted. 

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is warning local meat markets and businesses about a scam involving large phone orders. Investigators say a man calling himself “Brian” places large meat orders, pays a deposit with a fraudulent credit card, then picks up the order before the business discovers the payment is invalid. Businesses are being urged to verify large phone orders and credit card payments before releasing merchandise. Anyone with information should contact the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office at 830-249-9721.

Tomorrow night may be the biggest football game of the season so far for the Champion Chargers. Champion and Smithson Valley are both 7-and-0 heading into Friday night’s showdown at Ranger Stadium.  We will be carrying that game right here on Boerne Radio. Kickoff is at 7 o’clock but Fired Up Friday starts at 5.

And it’s Homecoming Week at Boerne High School. Tonight, the Greyhounds host their Fall Orchestra Concert, and tomorrow night the unbeaten football team welcomes Veterans Memorial for the annual Homecoming game. The Homecoming Barn Dance follows Saturday night.

And congratulations to the Boerne High Band and Color Guard, which earned Superior ratings at the Regional Marching Contest and advances to the Area round Saturday morning at D.W. Rutledge Stadium.
