Dallas voters scrambled as precinct-based polling returns take center stage in Texas primary
Dallas County voters were perplexed on primary day after Republicans ended countywide vote centers and Democrats followed suit, returning to precinct-based polling; despite efforts by election navigators and warnings, many went to the wrong polling sites. Democrats briefly won a court-ordered extension of voting hours, though the order was later stayed by the Texas Supreme Court. Similar shifts occurred in Williamson and Eastland counties, illustrating ongoing tensions over election administration and voter access.
