Crockett blames voting delays in Texas on GOP

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) speaks with supporters during her Senate Primary election night party on March 3, 2026 in Dallas, Texas. Crockett is running in the Texas primary, where voters will decide which Democratic and Republican candidates will face off this November in congressional races in the Senate and the House.

Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett is blaming Republicans for creating confusion among voters in her state.

 The Democrat congresswoman spoke to supporters on Tuesday night to express frustration over delays in election results for her race. Crockett (D-Texas) pointed to a Texas Supreme Court ruling earlier in the day that temporarily paused a two-hour voting extension in Dallas County.

Votes cast between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. local time must be separated while the court reviews the case. The extension had been requested following reports that some voters were being turned away from polling locations when the county separated voting sites by political party.

“Unfortunately, this is what Republicans like to do,” Crockett said. “And so, they specifically targeted Dallas county and I think we all know why. So, I want you to enjoy yourselves but I won’t be back tomorrow. I have no idea of when we are going to get results and I fully anticipate it won’t be until tomorrow.”   

 

Crockett may have been referring to the large African American population in Dallas county.

She is currently trailing James Talarico in the primary by several points.
