Houston furniture magnate Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale has launched a website in hopes of gathering evidence of voter disenfranchisement in Harris County's November 2022 election.
The website, called Hard to Vote, leads with a recorded message from McIngvale:"Do you believe you were denied the opportunity to vote in the November 2022 election? I've heard reports of machines that didn't work, ballot shortages, voting locations suddenly closing. If you experienced difficulties or felt unjustly treated, we want to hear your story."
Voters can fill out a form to share their voting experiences, upload evidence and agree to be filmed for"upcoming social media or commercial purposes." McIngvale said Tuesday he believes Harris County voters were disenfranchised based on reports of paper shortages, machine malfunctions and polling locations that did not open or close on time. He has spoken with plenty of those disenfranchised voters himself, he said.
"Customers come in and tell me that all the time," McIngvale said."They were turned away at one polling place and they gave up. A lot of them just went to another polling place. But a lot of them were disenfranchised by not having the first place open and ready to go like it should have been. It's not that hard."
