Burnam Removed Over Voting Site Protest | Texas News

Published 14 hours ago
Description

Former state rep Lon Burnam was arrested for disrupting a Tarrant County meeting where officials proposed slashing half the county’s voting sites — a move critics say targets minority communities and undermines voter access. Burnam, 73, refused to leave after passionately protesting the cuts, even grabbing a microphone to amplify another speaker’s message before being removed by deputies. Charges are expected soon, but the vote is postponed until September as tensions over voting rights and political strategy simmer on.
