Tarrant County Voting Access Under Fire | Dallas News
Description
Tarrant County commissioners sparked outrage by proposing slashing Election Day polling locations to just 176—half of what was available last time—and cutting early voting spots too. After a chaotic, protest-filled meeting with over 70 residents speaking out against the cuts as voter suppression, the plan was tabled.

Legal threats loom if changes aren’t reversed, and a revised proposal is expected at a September 1 vote—with more public input demanded.
