The next Commissioners Court meeting is on 9/17. Assuming Commissioner Ramirez is back, that could be a 3-2 vote for REMOVING THE EARLY POLLING LOCATIONS FROM COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN TARRANT COUNTY, THE 3RD LARGEST COUNTY IN #TEXAS (AND 15TH IN THE NATION).
Next week, Commissioner Simmons and Brooks will be out of town for a conference. Some in the local community are worried that O’Hare will wait until they are gone to call a special session & hold the vote while they are absent. #dfw #FortWorth 👇
☝️
Let’s hope he doesn’t, but if you’re in #DFW #Texas be on alert and plan to show up if they call a special meeting while the Dems are out of town.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? CALLS TO ACTION:
If you’re in Tarrant County, call & email your Commissioner & Judge O’Hare telling them YOU WANT EARLY VOTING ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES TO REMAIN. Their info is linked in the article 👇
And/or, please attend the Tarrant County Commissioners Court on 9/17 to tell them in person! #voterSuppression

@Incognitim Want to know which location is closest? Too bad! The map is "coming soon":

Incidentally, every TCC campus -- except its downtown location -- is on the early voting list:

I'm sure that's an oversight though. Guess I gotta show up to Yet Another Meeting and give my rEprESenTAtiVeS a stern talkin' to.

Uuugh- "coming soon" because we're stiiill trying to see if we can close down the polling station closest to you!
It was good to see today's outcome at least. I was a little surprised about how much press coverage it got.
*If only* they followed all of O'Hare's machinations even half as closely!
🤞😬🤞
@Incognitim Don't wanna wait for Tarrant County to upload a map? Have no fear! I added the data to #OpenStreetMap #OSM and used #OverpassTurbo to plot it.
