Dallas County GOP abandons countywide voting, turning thousands away
The Dallas County Republican Party scrapped the county's countywide vote center system for the March 3 Texas primary, requiring voters to cast ballots only at their assigned precinct sites. Thousands of voters who arrived at familiar vote centers were turned away; many cast provisional ballots. The Texas Supreme Court halted counting of late-arriving votes cast under the old system, disenfranchising hundreds who followed outdated guidance.

FCC opens equal time investigation of The View, CBS pulls Colbert interview
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launched an enforcement action against ABC's "The View" after it hosted James Talarico, a Texas Democrat running for U.S. Senate, triggering equal time provisions of Section 315 of the Communications Act. CBS declined to air Stephen Colbert's interview with Talarico, citing legal guidance about equal time obligations; the segment was posted to YouTube instead. Carr announced he was tightening the equal time rule by removing the "bona fide news interview" exemption from shows he deemed "motivated by partisan purposes."
