Early Voting Starts... And We're Kicked Out
You know that video you seen in our newscasts of people voting? Mainly just the backs of their heads and shots from a distance? Well, you won't see it from any polling places in Travis County. The county elections coordinator has banned all cameras from polling places (even those in public buildings), per state statute.
The Secretary of State's office says it is state law, but that counties kind of decide on their own what their individual policies will be regarding cameras. Some counties are more lax, which means our early voting video today will come from our sister stations in Dallas and Houston, which WERE allowed to shoot. More on this to come.
