AUSTIN, TX — Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir will step down from office soon to begin an "active" retirement, according to theAustin-American Statesman, which first broke the story Friday. DeBeauvoir, who was a national leader in the shift toward digital voting, has assisted running elections, taking care of real estate and court records in Travis County for 35 years. The Travis County Clerk told the newspaper "it's time" to retire as she realized that at age 67 she had other passions she wanted to pursue. One included returning as an international elections observer, which she had to abandon once her demands of her county job grew in the late 1990s. Live in Austin?
