FORT WORTH, Texas — Aisles of steel containers, overhead fluorescent lights and the booming voices of two Marine veterans tasked with delivering a secure election set the stage for a mock election on Thursday.
Shortly after 8 a.m attendees began trickling into the Tarrant County Election Administration warehouse, where voting equipment is stored and a few tables and chairs were set up.
The administration had invited the public to participate in the testing of voting equipment.
It had conducted a similar test in 2022. Early voting for the March 5 primary begins Feb. 20.
