I have read a lot of reports on how Texas doesn't provide polling places in poorer, minority neighbourhoods, forcing them to travel far to vote.

And I have also heard reports of people who had to stand in line for hours to vote in Texas. Again, in poorer, minority neighbourhoods.

Are you saying those reports are not true?

they're true and you'll only see them the most in houston and san antonio and a little bit in a dallas and austin.

source: me, a poor brown man who used to live in texas and tried to vote there for 5 years.

the excuses they come up to de-register you are with are laughable to hear; but texan officials will say it with a straight face and texan "liberals" will justify it by saying "it's the law".
