One Buda City Council race was decided by six votes on Nov. 4, but the possibility of a recount remained up in the air as of Nov. 11.

Greg Henry, the candidate on the losing end of the vote had yet to decide whether to request a recount as of Nov. 11, he told Community Impact Newspaper.

"I'm not sure [if I will request a recount]," Henry said. "At this time, no, but I'm looking into it."

Henry and Buda City Council Place 6 incumbent Bobby Lane were separated by just 0.34 percentage-points with Lane claiming 861 votes to Henry's 855, according to unofficial results. As of press time, Buda's election canvass was scheduled for Nov. 18.

Henry has until 5 p.m. of the second day after the canvass to petition for a recount, according to the Texas Secretary of State website. Grounds for a recount include any election in which electronic voting systems were used and if the number of votes separating the two candidates is less than 10 percent of the total number of votes.

The number of votes separating Lane and Henry is 0.35 percent of the total.

On Election Day, Henry, who owns Buda restaurant Willie's Joint, noted problems with the polling machines at Buda City Hall.

"There were lots of people leaving," Henry said, adding that he saw more than 25 people leave the line at the polls amid the technical difficulties. "There are things that definitely can be fixed on Election Day."

Hays County Elections Administrator Joyce Cowan said about eight electronic voting machines set up at the Buda City Hall polling station stopped working at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Election Day. Cowan said the polling site switched to paper ballots instead.

She said after about 30 minutes the machines started working again.

"It's not the norm [for the voting machines to malfunction], but they do go down occasionally for whatever reason," Cowan said.

Voting was not finished at the Buda City Hall polling site until 9 p.m., two hours after polls closed, Cowan said. She said Hays County officials are still trying to determine what caused the machines to stop working.
