🚨 TEXAS: THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE 92 ELECTION DAY POLLING PLACES Tarrant County officials are set to vote TODAY on cutting Election Day voting locations from 316 to 224, nearly 1 in 3 polling places gone. Civil rights groups warn the cuts could disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters

TARRANT COUNTY: SHOW UP AND MAKE SOME NOISE. THEY’RE VOTING TODAY. Check before going, but this is the information I found on the meeting. The Commissioners Court meeting is TODAY, September 1, at 10 AM CT, not tonight. The county’s official calendar confirms the September 1 meeting.

They have been closed. Take the names and details of those that committed treason to the spirit and the law of expanding voting access rather than restricting. The Repressive State of Texas continues with its Shenanigans, 97 polling places closed. People inundate the other polling places, vote!!!

White people don't mind everyone knowing that they are openly cheating to preserve white supremacy in Texas and everywhere. There isn't a single Christian in America. Lots of them refer to themselves as such, but they belong to the devil.

That's the entire point.....they want to make it as hard as possible and only in certain areas...! Should be illegal as hell, there should be laws that if a country cant provide adequate access (be with 30 mins and no longer waiting than 30 mins.....voting by mail becomes mandatory option!)

Burdening minority voters is the point. Eventually, it'll backfire on Republicans. They've already lost any goodwill they had with Latino voters with their silence on ICE. They lost the smattering of black voters by leaping onto the disenfranchisement wagon SCOTUS gave them. Party today pay tomorrow

Due to gutting voting rights act by SCOTUS. The fascist republicans just threw in the towel for all elections, due to criminal behavior of treason; attempting to overthrow elections anyway they can, AGAIN and again! Therefore, all "republican" opponents win by default.

These corrupt Republican's cheating is so out in the open. It seems like there should be laws that protect "fair and free" elections. Every voting center should have about the same number of registered voters assigned to it. Rich/poor/white/black - everyone's vote is equal in a democracy.

Every State provide free mass transit buses, trains and subway fare free on Election Day. Where there is no mass transportation available, have the Church Buses take the People to the Polls to Vote the Devils out of office. Do a “Go Fund The People to the Polls” to help pay for the cost of gas!

Oh, theres no racism, classism or political bias used in that decision process…🤦‍♀️( sarcasm) They are banking on the lower paid workers having more difficulty getting time off to vote and making the lines so long that folks might have to wait several hours in line to cast their ballot= Cheating!😡

Someday we will have a Democratic President who will get to appoint hopefully a competent Attorney General and since this is possibly election interference in federal elections and seems to discriminate against minorities, I believe corruption, fraud, and manipulation charges could be investigated.

"Could"? They are directly targeting black and Latinos Use Your 2nd It's the only thing that they understand It's not like your votes will be counted anyway The USA does not have fair elections, stop pretending that you do and man up

Texas has to be the most corrupt state in the country. They may need drivers to take voters to polling places so voters have their say.

I make this about 138 Billion Dollars in INTEREST ONLY per year at the current rate..My apologies if incorrect but whatever it is it’s going up…..But at least he will have a ballroom for us all to use.

I live in Tarrant County. Abbott, Patrick and Paxton are in for a huge surprise. Republicans here are PISSED! And that’s putting it lightly. The mood is ugly! Most are not voting at all, but the rest, they want them out! 30 years of finger pointing and zero change is what has moved the needle

Another titanic sized failure by our side. Democrats have allowed a useless voter ID "issue" metastasize into a faux cause by conservatives while never making a stronger case or even a case in exchange for more polling stations.

We should know by now GOPers don't operate in good faith anything nor do they serve the interest of the electorate. They simply serve their interestsings. It's (also) the job of Democrats to make the electorate see this. How can you expect to win the public debate on issues without doing so?

Well, I live in Texas and overall it is a nice state, but the politics here are so corrupt. As a more liberal person I feel like an alien amongst rednecks. We really don't have a democracy if each state can manipulate the voting process for their party. It's 3rd world autocracy. Looking to move.

This is how Texas suppresses voting in Texas. The Rs in charge see Tarrant Co. is flipping, and want to discourage people from voting. Too bad we have “woken” to these tactics & will turn out in droves. #VoteEarly

GOP knows they can’t win elections without cheating. So, the attempted cheating begins. The GOP has transformed into an anti democracy gang that must be destroyed. Vote 🗳️ blue to oust all GOP from all government positions.

They voted 3 Republicans to disenfranchise voters to 2 Democrats to not disenfranchise. HERE ARE PHONE NUMBERS for two of the three. Give 'em hell:

Because of course they will, and then the Democratic Party, after sitting on its fucking hands for three decades, will turn around and blame their own base for losing again. It's unbelievably predictable.

little tidbit-this county has been deep red but 2020 showed a potential purpling, then 2024 when Allred defeated cruz in the county it was official the county was purple & leaning blue, the polling places under attack service minority neighborhoods & districts with strong blue turnout

More Texas cheating, first they cancel 1 million voter registrations and now they are closing one third of the polling places. One guess which voters will be impacted? Republicans cheat to win.

The whole thing about Texas purging over a million votes is misinformation. It’s a simple confusion over putting someone’s voting status in suspense, versus suspending their voting status. Texans in suspense can still cast a ballot after filling out an information update form day on day of voting.

Of course that’s the point. Our state government is as shifty as it can get. But, if one person gets the correct information and shares it…you get my point.

It is not misinformation. They suspended their voting status with no notification to the folks involved. Unless they are paying attention to the news, they don't even know they are affected.

So far they have added a million and a half voters to this list of those that must fill in additional paperwork in order to vote. How many of them will be able to stand in more lineups, take more time off work, how many will give up and not vote? This is the point, they are making it harder to vote!

Thanks. I was actually thinking of Alabama's Jim Crow days when black voters had to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar before they were allowed to vote. Of course every guess was wrong. But in some ways it does apply to Reagan.

The reason they want to do this is because they are cheating, and the way they got caught last time was by making one place have 100% Trump and so people who voted knew it was a fraud and testified in court. Of course, nothing happened. But we now know the election was faked.

The state GOP of Georgia did the same thing all around fulton county. I can one hundred percent promise you this election will be stolen one way or another. If it comes down to it, the republican party will just refuse to seat any democrats, or certify democrat wins.

One polling place left in an area that's being affected means there is time to organize free transportation for ppl who may not be able to travel to that one place. I'd make sure there are notices everywhere...knock on doors & distribute flyers so people will know the service is available. It helps.

In Texas, polls close at 7:00 p.m., but if you are already in line by 7:00 p.m., you are legally entitled to vote. People who arrive after 7:00 p.m. generally cannot join it. If there is a problem, call the Texas Secretary of State at 1-800-252-VOTE (8683).

__𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙄𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨__ (This post plus the 2-pt 🧵below) If you have a passport, passport card, drivers license or state ID - 🚨Check expiration dates🚨 If they will expire before the 2026 or 2028 federal elections (or state/local elections) Renew as early as possible to have time to fix problems

We have to assume when Ds Go to the new polling locales there will be plenty of “sorry, we don’t see you on the list”. In purple locations it will be ICE removing voters from lines. In other districts it will be the USPS not delivering ballots timely. What is the recourse after the election? None.

Inevitably this will cause problems for people who have to drive farther to the polls (take longer, meaning missing more work time or even being fired), take kids with them because no child care, people who can't drive and must walk.

And they cleanse voting rolls so people are not registered. And on the last election all over the country peoples votes were not recorded when they checked

When you vote make sure to track your ballot to see that it is counted. Most state election commissions should have a way for you to track your ballot online.

They did that years ago in Iowa and took away voting stations from colleges and libraries. And from mainly democratic areas of cities and states. That's why they want to stop mail in voting. So people have to wait all day in lines

I don’t think they want quality that bad People in New York do not count on Chuck Schumer or useless representatives. Gotta get out on the street joining civil rights group without action they’ll never be a factor. Call local representatives flood their office start marching or something goddamn.

Well, so much for LIBERTY & JUSTICE for all 🤣🤣 Remember folks, get out & vote the republicans OUT 😡 When they have to cheat on every level … they aren’t worthy GET OUT & VOTE TO SHOW YOUR STRENGTH & POWER Get back u’re Healthcare Education Voting rights Get back u’re DIGNITY !!

Of course the closure of these polls will affect Black and Brown communities. Republicans hate Black and Brown people. Their actions against POC proves this over and over again. Republicans don’t want equality for all. They want a white only America.

I like how they warn them that it could, they are deliberately doing it so it will. After lying so much in the last election they need to keep minorities away from the polling places because they know how mad they are at the Rapepublicans.

The very purpose is to limit the voting of people of color and Dems in general. They aren't closing any voting places where white Republicans are a majority.

Go after them in court and in the meantime start raising funds for a massive bus caravan to get ALL these voters to their new polling places. Advertise EVERYWHERE and for Gods sake, get in the African American churches, the very backbone of voting rights in America.

TX Rapepublicans have closed over 750 polling places since 2012 as well as making it crime to give people food & water who wait in line for hours to vote. I guarantee there hasn't been a free & fair election in Texas in over 2 decades of Rapepublican rule.

Obviously rhetorical question: How is this indicative of having freedom? People can't even protest against this at the adequate level, because doing so would likely result in losing job and the healthcare tied to it. There's no freedom in the US, just serfdom masked under capitalism

Where are the common sense people who can direct every political action? Common sense says there’s only one reason to close polling places in targeted areas. Abbot and his ( free the fleeing criminal) crowd want to make it difficult for their opponents to get votes. Snowflakes anonymous is calling.

Republicans have to be replaced with Democrats republicans don’t care about Texas or the Americans stop trump and all his republican cronies from destroying Texas anymore vote out all republicans

These bastards need a reckoning and soon. Lying cheating bastards. Texas should be ashamed. But they have no morals or integrity

Of course it will make it harder for brown people to vote. Most of them are democrats. So the far right wants to make it hard for them to vote. Because they know darn well their policies suck. So in a fair election they will lose Bigly.

I remember when Texas closed DMV's in certain areas to keep certain people from getting the new licenses required to vote. I also remember when voting machines didn't work in certain Texas precincts when Obama was running for president. We have yet to feel safe and free to vote in 250 years.
