Tarrant County, Texas, approved a plan in September 2026 that cut 92 Election Day polling locations compared with 2022, which is within rounding of the claimed 93. One unrated source gives 93 and describes the plan as eliminating 93 polling places, and the post itself faithfully says '93 in one Texas county'.

… Yeah, like, ah, and please go to Vote dot org. I always push that, too, and just check your registration status, and not, and we haven't even touched on the amount of, ah, voting sites that have been eliminated. Yeah, 93 in one Texas county. That's crazy, insane, uh, and there's a real effort to, to take over the midterms by making it harder to vote. We see it happen all the time, so there's no need to use this website. Vote dot org is secure, and we've been using it for years. …

Supports. AP and NBC News report that Tarrant County commissioners voted 3-2 to approve a plan with 92 fewer Election Day polling locations than the 2022 midterms, leaving 224 sites.[1][2]
Supports. The Houston Chronicle reports the Republican-majority commissioners approved a plan that would eliminate 92 Election Day polling sites available in 2022.[3]
Supports. ABC News reports the county's Commissioners Court voted in September to cut 92 polling locations, from 316 in 2022 to 224 in 2026.[4][5]
Context. An unrated source gives the figure as 93 polling places and describes it as a proposal, which is one location off from the 92 in the tier-1 and tier-2 reports and is consistent with the claim's figure within rounding.[7]
Context. CBS News reports a broader decline of more than 500 Election Day polling locations statewide since 2018 and 115 fewer in Tarrant County compared with 2018. This uses a different baseline and does not contradict the 2022 comparison.[6]
