Tarrant County Proposes Reducing Polling Locations by 92 Ahead of November Elections
- Tarrant County plans to cut 92 polling locations for the November elections, prompting protests from Democrats who argue it could create voter confusion.
- County officials defend the cuts as a way to save resources and focus on higher-traffic sites, maintaining over 200 locations overall.
- Critics, including Rep. James Talarico, claim the reductions will disproportionately affect minority voters, with about a third of the county's population being Hispanic and 19.2% Black.
