Texas GOP Bill Would Ban Polling Places At Colleges

Austin’s CBS affiliate reports:

One state lawmaker says she wants to see voting banned on college campuses. District 73 Texas House Representative (R), Carrie Isaac, filed a bill on Thursday, Feb. 16 prohibiting polling places on higher education campuses. “I’ve knocked a lot of doors on the campaign trail, spoke with a lot of concerned parents about safety of their children,” she said. “Its going to be a hot topic this legislative session. I believe that all schools are target rich environments.”

Isaac said keeping the polls away from campuses is in the best interest of safety due to too many non-students and faculty visiting public campuses like Texas A&M’s during elections.  Rep. Isaac told KBTX she is continuing to draft other bills that promote school safety in this legislative session, including one aimed at keeping polling places out of public kindergarten through 12th grade schools and charters.

Isaac took office last month. Her campaign clip below is all about Jesus, freedom, and “liberal indoctrination.”
