Texas County’s Voting Plan Sparks Outcry: Fewer Polling Sites Could Confuse Voters

One of Texas’ largest counties is facing backlash over a proposal to cut the number of polling sites by dozens compared to previous years. Democrats argue the reduction could create confusion during the November midterm elections. The plan, which has not yet been finalized, has prompted protests from voting rights advocates who say fewer locations may lead to longer lines and voter frustration. County officials have not yet commented on the criticism. The final decision could affect thousands of residents in the region.
