“I am committed to fostering a culture within Tarrant County that not only celebrates faith, family and freedom, but champions these core values. My mission is to make Tarrant County the safest large county in Texas and to remain a place where the American Dream is alive and well.”
My brother gors to UTSA and waited over 5 hours to vote on campus last year. It probably has nothing to do with UTSA’s status as a Hispanic serving university.
Voting sites really don’t cost that much money. They probably spent more money putting up this measure than it would cost to just run the damn thing.
When I work elections, the county pays me roughly 180 bucks for the whole day 6am - 8pm (I dont do it for the money, obviously). The smallest one i worked had around 3-5 people, so less than 1k in labor overall.
All of the devices and materials aside from the ballots get re-used for each election, unless there are equipment changes. The voting locations themselves are often donated spaces, like churches and schools. There are also election technicians, but they’re serving multiple precincts and dropping one location won’t make much of a difference. Everyone else involved is usually already a salaried government worker.
All this to say, closing a precinct to “save money” is a pathetic excuse. Everyone has the right to vote. It should be the first thing we make sure we budget for.
This post is a great example of how men are referred to by their last name and women by their first. Most people will feel a person is more competent when referred to by their last name instead of their first (e.g. Merkel is more competent than Angela).
I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time. And, honestly, good ol’ racism has been doing its work on this one from the beginning.
Trump only latched onto it recently, thanks to that Nazi vampire Laura Loomer
No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS… Yeah you’re right, it’s tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.
I’m glad our Government is Dealing with these Domestic Terrorist Threats so Seriously to ensure no Schools or Children are DESTROYED by these Right Wing Terrorists!
If lurking in the USPS subreddit for a few years had taught me anything, it’s that some really love the LLVs and some just hate the platypus that’s replacing it, as it was often called.
Could this be a convoluted way to tornado-cash his buddies’ dirty linen by opening up a channel to dump his upcoming huge windfall in clean (as per US law, and FEC regulations, apparently) cash about to be gained from rug-pulling $DJT the moment that window opens?
Huh, in my area recently they’ve been using just normal Mercedes vans with the Mercedes logo replaced by the USPS logo so I had assumed that was just the new standard USPS vehicle now but I guess not, interesting.
