Once again, it appears Galveston is short when it comes to the number of its polling places.
This week the Texas Civil Rights Project sent a letter to the Galveston County clerk’s office, requesting an increase in the number of polling locations open in the county.
Galveston has had issues in providing an adequate number of polling locations in the past. In the 2019 midterm election, it was reported that the county had an insufficient amount of open polling sites. The Texas Civil Rights Project has also gotten involved with Galveston’s efforts in redistricting, after filing a lawsuit in 2021, against the county’s Commissioners Court. This lawsuit alleged intentional discrimination toward minority populations in the redistricting maps, which split the only majority-minority precinct. The lawsuit is pending and set for a hearing this summer.
