Voting is a right, not a privilege.
Making citizens jump through hoops to vote is the kind of cowardice engaged in by people who don't think they can earn our votes.

The Commissioner's Court of Tarrant County voted on party lines, three Republicans, two Democrats, to close nearly 100 polling stations in a county that Kamala Harris won by 26 points.
There are 316 polling places in that county, more than two million people.
They voted today to close 92 of them.They say it's about the budget, two months before Election Day.
Seems, to me, a pretty transparent effort to make it harder for people in the Fort Worth metro area to vote, knowing that Fort Worth numbers are gonna be determinative for any statewide Democratic victory, and to suppress support for Tolerico in what is now a toss-up race.
