HAWKINS – A Hawkins City Council election’s results have been overturned after over 100 ballots cast in the race for the Place 5 seat were ruled as invalid because voters did not sign a voter roster to certify that they were eligible to cast a ballot. Smith County 475th District Court Judge Taylor Heaton ruled that the election is now void, and the seat will be empty.
