Report: Texas Rapidly Reduced Number Of Polling Sites In Black And Latino Communities
Data shows Texas officials have quickly closed polling places in some of the most diverse, rapidly growing regions of the state.

"A 2019 report from The Leadership Conference Education Fund (LCEF), a civil rights organization, reveals Texas officials began rapidly decreasing the number of polling places in these counties with significant communities of color around the time the Supreme Court overturned a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. The provision, Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, required certain states with histories of racist voting practices to get clearance from the federal government before closing polling places or changing their voting laws.

"Furthermore, analysis reported by The Guardian found that the 50 Texas counties that gained the most Black and Latino residents between 2012 and 2018 closed 542 polling sites over that span, while the 50 counties that gained the fewest Black and Latino residents during that time only closed 34 sites.

“'This is despite the fact that the population in the former group of counties has risen by 2.5 million people,' The Guardian reports, 'whereas in the latter category the total population has fallen by over 13,000.'"

I guess he doesn't know which party controls government at this point in Texas. Primaries are publicly funded vice caucuses, which are funded typically by the party.

Shamelessly anti-democratic & un-American. They don't care. They think they're on a fucking mission from God or something.

TX is the Democratic wet dream.

I'd just be happy if we get pa, NC, and mi back and don't lose MN.

IDK WTF is going on in WI, but not super confident in that one, thus we need a NC and even AZ to feel better.

I think FL will still be a 1% state, and that usually doesn't break to Ds.

Please God, made Susan Collins lose her election.
Not asking for ME, we'll take it tho, but please sweet baby Jesus, send Susan home.

are you unable to see how this will play out in the general election? Texas cut polling places in record numbers, even more than state law allowed in one county.

To be fair, CA also had long lines and waits. No excuses on that one. Democrats need to keep their own house in order.

Really? It seems like a 2016 replay to me. You're going to have a lot of pissed off Bernie Sanders supporters who had the nomination "stolen" from them staying home and letting Trump cruise to reelection.

Not to mention Trump's "The Democrats tried to IMPEACH me to keep you from learning the TRUTH about the Bidens and Ukraine!" narrative, coming to an Biden attack ad from the Trump campaign this summer. He'll have no problems getting his voters out after airing a few of those.

bernie's establishment narrative doesn't add up this time. joe was left for dead by the establishment. It's the logical voters, and party base that pushed joe over the hill on super tuesday. with our government so f'ed up right now, the majority of voters just want to get back to some form of normalcy, not a revolution.

What do YOU think that Donald Trump is thinking right about now?
The one Trump feared the most is now going to be the one.
And all of those other candidates are not only dropping out, but endorsing Joe Biden and that includes bringing their fans into the Biden camp as Biden fans.
Yes Donald, it will be Joe Biden.
Peeking into Fox News, Fox appears unconcerned but I do detect some worry about the strength of that southern black vote.
Fox, and Trump are not quite sure just how strong that unknown factor might be. And I think that worries them a lot.
But one thing Donald Trump must have realized at this point, that the democrats are indeed united and united for only one reason.... to defeat Donald Trump.
I wonder if Donald Trump sees this as a storm brewing on the horizon? A dark violent storm with high winds, hard rain and baseball sized hail?
I wonder if Donald Trump has any idea of what is about to hit him?
Yes, any idea of what is about to hit him once democrats unite, conclude their convention, with the end result of Donald Trump in their crosshairs.
We have a great storm forming on the horizon, coming closer and closer, and heading right for the Whitehouse.

Tbh this whole thing looks fishy. Sanders getting the nod was a given a few days ago. Now all of a sudden everyone drops out and they endorse Biden and he wins all the states? Why are they trying to manipulate the process? I don't even like Sanders (policies) but Biden is hardly coherent these days. I mean he seriously has the blank eyed stare of a senile old man.

Your concerns are duly noted. You'll vote for Trump no matter what, anyway.
