1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200
In Denton County, during the early voting
period, you can

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,960
vote at any location countywide, but then on
election day,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,720
you have to go to your specific neighborhood
precinct location.

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,320
A group of voters argued Tuesday morning that
that is

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,200
confusing.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,080
An organized group of voters say they will
spend five

7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:21,440
public comment periods trying to convince
Denton County Commissioners to

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,400
switch to countywide voting on election day as
well.

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,520
Up to 7,000 people went to the wrong location
on

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,400
election day, according to the group of
election judges.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,960
County commissioners at this point show no
signs of changing

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,160
plans, especially as we are only four months
out from

13
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:45,520
the November election.

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,960
However, volunteers and two election judges
still made their case

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,840
this morning.

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,360
And we establish a consistent idea that you
can vote

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,600
anywhere in the county, but yet on the last
day

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840
to vote, on the last day to vote, we're
switching

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,800
up the rules.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,520
I mean, come on, guys, that's just not fair.

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,200
That hurts my heart when people take the time
off

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400
of work, try to leave school to go out to

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
go and vote, and they get turned away.

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080
This is something we're gonna keep an eye on
heading

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,000
into the November election.

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,440
