After an incident today, I would like to remind voters that Election Workers are working long hours to assist you in casting your ballot. They must enforce the Texas Election Code and policies of my office. Cursing, aggression, and disrupting other voters, will not be tolerated and is inappropriate behavior for a polling location. If you encounter an issue, I strongly urge you to step outside and contact my office and speak to me, the Elections Administrator, at the time the incident occurs so that I may resolve it to the best of my ability. Please be courteous to the Election Workers who voluntarily sign up for this position to support my office and your right to vote. Thank you.
