After Tarrant changes building rules, voter registration volunteer is pushed out in the heat

But on July 16 county commissioners — on the fifth floor of that same building — voted 4-0 to change the county’s guidelines regarding who can operate on county property. Commissioner Alisa Simmons was absent.
Woolridge wasn’t aware.
Woolridge said that on July 31 an officer who patrols the county administration building notified him that the new policy change meant he would have to operate outside. He could no longer use the table and chair the county was providing him with.
“I was really surprised,” Woolridge said.
The new Tarrant County Facilities Use Policy bars press conferences without permission and operations it sees as “non-regular use.” The Texas Freedom Network voter registration drive falls under this category.

The commissioners court waited until the Democrat was out of office and passed this 3rep to 2 dem vote.
County Judge Tim O’Hare (bad guy) said last year at an event hosted by the True Texas Project that lower voter turnout would help Republicans win municipal elections. O’Hare did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near our elections. And he proved it with his statement.
