Dallas voting chaos grows as precinct rules redirect hundreds

Hundreds of voters in the Dallas area were turned away from polling locations on Election Day amid confusion over new rules that require ballots to be cast at assigned precincts. Dallas County extended voting hours by two hours after a court order, with Democratic precincts staying open until 10 p.m. ET, while most of Texas closes earlier. Officials urged voters to verify their polling location before heading out, as lawmakers and candidates criticized the changes and warned the disruption could affect the election outcome.
