Same pattern just down the road in Round Rock, Texas (Williamson County). At the BACA center, one of the busiest early-voting locations in the county, contractors moved candidate signs yesterday (10/23) from the plaza to a smaller side area. Today the main parking lot and the usual handicap voting location are blocked off while an event is set up and held. Democrats have a booth promoting their candidates outside the 100-foot zone, and the school district also has a booth with VATRE signs. That raises a fair question: why should candidates, parties, or districts have to pay for festival booth space just to reach voters at an official polling place on the one full Saturday of early voting? A volunteer reported no line at 3 p.m. today at a site that normally sees steady traffic. Volunteers are documenting restricted access to parking and the relocated signs. Officials in Southlake and Williamson County both knew the early-voting calendar. Parking and access restrictions at active polling places on the only full Saturday deserve the same public explanation: who approved them, when, and why voter access was not protected first.
