Tarrant County Polling Cuts Still Spark Concern | Dallas News

Tarrant County’s election plan still cuts 92 polling locations despite a revised, less drastic proposal—moving from 316 to 224 Election Day sites and 50 to 47 early voting spots. Commissioner Alisa Simmons warns this reduction still hurts access, especially as new laws make finding sites harder, and urges commissioners to take local action—not just rely on the election admin. She pushes for convenience and accessibility over cuts, even as some officials suspect political motives behind shrinking voting options. The court debates the updated plan Tuesday at 10 AM, with a key push to reinstate the UT Arlington site—a prime spot for students and residents. The goal? Make voting easy for everyone, no matter their party. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
