El tribunal de comisionados del condado de Tarrant aprueba recorte de 92 centros de votación para elecciones de noviembre

El 25 de agosto el tribunal de comisionados del condado de Tarrant, Texas, aprobó un plan para cerrar 92 centros de votación de cara a las elecciones del 3 de noviembre. Los tres comisionados republicanos respaldaron la medida, que fue condenada de inmediato por funcionarios demócratas y grupos de derechos civiles que advirtieron que limitaría la participación de los votantes minoritarios. La propuesta se presentó a principios del verano, lo que provocó protestas de más de 80 oradores y el arresto de dos manifestantes.

El representante estatal James Talarico y el representante Matt Shaheen se opusieron, mientras que el juez del condado Tim O’Hare y el administrador electoral Clint Ludwig defendieron los recortes como una medida de ahorro. El plan reduce los sitios de votación en día de elecciones en aproximadamente un 30 %, generando críticas de la NAACP, la ACLU y otras organizaciones de derechos electorales.
