In Texas Tuesday, the Republican majority on the Tarrant County Commission voted to cut the number of 2026 midterm polling places by about a third, compared to the number that were approved in 2022. The vote came after the commissioners ignored testimony from more than 100 community members, the majority of whom opposed reducing the number of voting sites. In the 2022 midterms, Tarrant County had 316 polling places on Election Day and 50 for early voting.
