1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,920
I would like to take this time to talk about

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,760
one of our residents.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,880
I'm not gonna give you numbers or anything
like that.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,880
This is directly coming from one of your
constituents.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,240
Miss Gladys, 70-year one year old woman,
believes

6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,560
in power of her vote.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,160
She lived in Harris County, where she had the
ability

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,320
to go vote countywide, vote and had county
wide voting

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,960
centers on election day.

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,000
She asked me a question.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Why do we not have that here in Denton County?

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,800
And I told her it's because of our GOP county

13
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,000
chair.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,320
She refused to make change and move with the
future.

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:48,640
Ms.

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Gladys said, it is time for us to move to

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,160
the future.

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,720
It is time for us to do the right thing

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,080
about the consensus of this Denton County.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,880
It is time to just do the right thing.

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,080
There are elderly women, elderly people, there
are working class

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,280
folks that work two and three jobs, and they
have

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,400
the right to go vote anywhere in our county.

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,960
But unfortunately, we refuse to do that.

25
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,520
I'm asking on behalf of Ms.

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,400
Gladys, think about all the residents who are
elderly, who

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,520
work, who just can't get transportation, and
election day is

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,800
one of their days that they love to go vote.

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Make it where it is countywide, every single
election, just

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,120
like we do for early voting.

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Let's make sure that we do the right thing for

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Ms.

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320
Gladys and everyone that's in Denton County.

34
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,120
Let's not Dallas our Denton.

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Thank you.

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Thank you.
