Republicans in Tarrant County, TX, want 92 fewer polling locations this November than it did during the 2022 midterms.

The proposed cuts come as Texas prepares for a closely watched U.S. Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Tarrant County, home to more than 2 million people, is a major battleground where about 1 in 3 residents are Latino and about 1 in 5 are Black.

The fact is, in majority-Latino counties throughout Texas, there was a 149% increase in voter participation compared to the 2022 primary.

Republicans claim that they want to eliminate low-turnout locations and save on spending.

But Democratic state senator Taylor Rehmet says: “Polling places aren’t government waste. They’re an investment in our democracy.”

Voting-rights groups are urging the county to reject the plan. They warn that reducing polling locations could disproportionately affect communities with large Latino and Black populations and make voting less convenient.

Where and how easily people can cast their ballots matters. Before the midterms, check your voter registration, know where you can vote and make your plan.

Pierre Damas Bel was 20 years old. He graduated high school with honors, participated in JROTC and dreamed of studying medicine.

He called Springfield, Ohio home and moved to the United States from Haiti in 2024 to reunite with his family and pursue his education. But after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, Bel’s life changed dramatically.

Trump and the Supreme Court recently ended TPS for an estimated 350,000 Haitian immigrants, even as Haiti continues to face widespread gang violence, kidnappings and killings.

Despite having a pending asylum claim, Bel was summoned to an ICE office and fitted with an electronic ankle monitor. His father said the experience left him feeling ashamed, humiliated and increasingly distressed.

“I came to this country to pursue my education. I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone,” Bel wrote on Instagram in July. “Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience.”

On Monday, Bel took his own life after walking into traffic on Interstate 70 in Springfield, Ohio.

“He felt like he was treated like an animal,” says Pierres Ronal Bel, his father.

Pastor Carl Ruby, of the Haitian Community Support Center, comforted his grieving father. Ruby wrote on social media: “I wish President Trump could hear the mom’s wails. The family wants people to know that this was a su***de and they want people to know that President Trump, [Stephen] Miller, and Markwayne Mullin’s inhumane immigration policies made this happen.”

Pierre deserved the opportunity to pursue his education and his future with dignity.

The Trump administration is enriching his loyal followers while simultaneously putting children and minors at risk of grave danger.

The American Prospect reports that Trump's administration handed a notoriously harmful organization, Our Rescue, a no-bid contract worth $244 MILLION on August 7.

Our Rescue allegedly conducts international sting operations to catch s*x traffickers, similar to Dateline’s “To Catch a Predator.” Yet in July 2023, multiple former employees came forward to accuse its founder and CEO, Tim Ballard, of s*xual assault and trafficking himself, including during sting operations.

To add insult to injury, The Appeal reports that Our Rescue enriched Ballard with a massive salary while children suffered and were placed in dangerous situations.

Now, trusted legal service providers for minors, such as Acacia Center for Justice, are fighting to regain the funding that Trump's administration abruptly ended, so that they can continue their mission of protecting vulnerable children in court and fight for their dignity and belonging.

43% of Gen Z Latinos helped send Trump back to the White House. Now, new polling suggests some young voters are having second thoughts — and they may be ready to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Among Gen Z voters:

🔸 31% who supported Trump in 2024 now say they regret their vote.
🔸 33% approve of his job performance, the lowest approval rating among every generation surveyed.

The economy is also weighing heavily on young voters. 💸 Gen Z is disproportionately represented among Americans who disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy but aren’t convinced Democrats would handle it better. ⚠️

A separate URGE/HIT Strategies poll found that 93% of young voters surveyed say they will certainly or probably vote in the 2026 midterms.

With roughly 49 million Gen Z Americans eligible to vote this November, young people have the power to make a massive impact on what happens next.

More than 1.2 million Texas voters, over 6% of the state’s registered voters, are currently on the state’s “suspense” list ahead of the November midterms.

Here’s the most important thing to know: eligible voters CAN still vote even if their registration status is currently labeled as “suspense.”

A voter can be placed in "suspense" when their county cannot confirm their address or believes they may have moved, often because official mail was returned as undeliverable. 🏠⚠️ But even if you haven’t moved, you should check your status now.

If you’re suspended, you may have to take extra steps when you vote, including filling out a statement of residence. If you’ve moved to another county, you may have to vote in your previous county or cast a provisional ballot.

Don’t wait until Election Day to find out.

🚨 Check your voter registration status now. Make sure your registration address is correct. If you need to update it, the Texas voter registration deadline is October 5. 🚨

Make your plan now so you’re ready to make your voice heard on Election Day.
