The "Democrat" party doesn't make rules for voting.

And the "Democrat" party wasn't responsible for the Shelby v. Holder decision, which was made by a conservative majority of justices appointed by Republican presidents.

Then-Attorney General [now Republican Governor] Greg Abbott announced a new, stringent voter ID law would take effect. The state later stymied efforts to make voter registration easier. Just this past session, the Lege tried to pass a bill that would put polling places in areas with higher numbers of registered voters, a rule that would favor white neighborhoods. (One provision even made it a felony if a person voted when they’re ineligible, even if was inadvertent, a specific proposal that seemed aimed at cases like Crystal Mason’s.) An advocate once described Texas’ voting policies as “a panoply of voter suppression.”

Texas Leads in Polling Place Closures Since 2013

750 polling places in Texas have been shuttered since Shelby v. Holder, the Supreme Court decision that released the state from federal oversight in changing its voter laws and practices.

This is a primary. Everyone is voting for a democrat. Therefore, if you pay attention to who runs the election boards in those locations, (seem to be universities), I'd wager they're democrats too.

Universities? Humm....sounds like part of the DNC "never Bernie" plan in action.

FWIW, this happens everywhere. In Columbia in 2012 I waited 7 hours in line for the general election. They had to keep the polls open until 11pm to get all the voters in line. I lived at the time in a solid GOP voting district that was like 70% white. Meanwhile, democratic districts had NO WAIT LINES AT ALL. ALSO, there was a penny tax on the ballot that election, which passed, and was then summarily abused to the point the SC Supreme Court ordered a freeze on spending any proceeds until an audit could be completed.

Who runs those locations with the long lines? Why are they universities where young Gen Z voters, Bernie's most ardent voting block, are located? Might want to look at dems instead of blaming pubs and racism.

Why are republicans so against people voting?

SC did vote on Saturday.

...and Bernie still lost.***

Because evolving demographics work against the GOP.

I didn't say they invented the concepts.***

You know OJ Simpson murdered his wife.

Does she call the highway patrol when you beat her?***

The "Democrat" party doesn't make rules for voting.

Elections are run by local election boards.

But 'racist,' ends a conversation.
