    In this friday, the 13th edition of the ShortCut, Stonewall County joins a new state pilot program aimed at enhancing election transparency through video monitoring of ballot counting. As part of HB 246, the program involves setting up cameras in the county elections office to oversee the process without compromising voter privacy. The initiative will run until January 2025, with findings reported to the legislature for potential statewide implementation. In other political news, state representative James Frank of district 69 has announced his candidacy for speaker of the Texas house, seeking change in leadership and calling for more open communication within the house. Meanwhile, Fisher County commissioners have decided to close the county jail amid budget constraints, despite concerns over its impact on local services. In sports, local teams prepare for a series of competitive matches this weekend, with homecoming events adding excitement to the lineup. Stay tuned until the end for a sneak peek of this week's editorial from Jeff Hurt.
