Three Fort Worth area Democratic candidates do not intend to sue Tarrant County after commissioners vote on Thursday to preserve early voting sites on college campuses, according to a campaign official.
The candidates — Sam Eppler who’s running for Congressional District 24, Scott White who’s running for Texas House District 98 and Laura Leeman who’s running for Tarrant County commissioner — were considering legal action if county commissioners didn’t, at the least, approve putting polling places at the University of Texas at Arlington and Tarrant County College Northeast campus.
The court, during a nearly five-hour meeting that drew dozens of public comments, opted to approve the original 50 sites and add an additional location at the Vietnamese American Community Home in Dalworthington Gardens.
“As far as our campaigns are concerned, this is what we had originally wanted, and I think it’s great they added an extra one location,” said Brody Mulligan, a campaign official for the three Democratic candidates.
