The 2026 reduction in Tarrant County was 92 fewer Election Day polling sites (316 to 224), not over 100, per AP, NBC, CBS, Texas Tribune and ABC; the claimant's own hedge ('I think') does not change the record.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
What we found
Contradicts. AP, NBC News, CBS Texas, the Texas Tribune and ABC News all report the approved plan cut Election Day polling sites by 92, from 316 in 2022 to 224.[1][2][3][4][5]
Contradicts. Including early voting sites (50 to 47), the combined reduction is about 95, still below 100, and Fox 4 describes the cut as 'nearly 100'.[2][6]
Context. ProPublica's August 2025 article reports 'more than 100' Election Day sites cut in an earlier Tarrant County vote, a different action in a different year, so it does not establish the 2026 figure.[7]
