Texass’ Tarrant County Cuts Over 100 Polling Sites / Reduces Early Voting Locations
August 20, 2025

"Officials in a large North Texass county decided this week to cut more than 100 Election Day polling sites and reduce the number of early voting locations, amid growing concern about GOP efforts to limit voting access ahead of next year’s midterm elections.![ed200625a846e61697c723728be9c30a_w200[1].gif ed200625a846e61697c723728be9c30a_w200[1].gif](https://www.houseofpolitics.com/data/attachments/22/22914-539f6fc80acb4b6ff7e59c62a5428db1.jpg?hash=WkHHQJn8su)

The 3-2 vote on Tuesday by commissioners in Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth, came one day after Presidunce Spanky vowed to end the use of mail-in ballots. The president lacks the unilateral power to decide how individual states run elections, but his declaration speaks to long-brewing and unfounded claims by some conservatives that the country’s electoral system is insecure and vulnerable to widespread fraud.
.
Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare, who heads up the commissioners court, has also raised numerous questions about the security of local elections, helping to launch an electoral integrity unit in the county after he became judge in 2022. As of last summer, however, the unit had received fewer than 100 allegations of voter fraud. He and fellow Republican commissioners also cut funding to provide free bus rides to the polls for low-income residents. “I don’t believe it’s the county government’s responsibility to try to get more people out to the polls,” O’Hare said at the time. And commissioners prohibited outside organizations from registering voters inside county buildings after Tarrant County GOP leaders raised concerns about what they said were left-leaning groups holding registration drives."
