'CNN Voting Hero' Arrested And Charged With Voter Fraud...
On Super Tuesday Harvis Rogers told reporters that he waited six hours in line at a poll at Texas Southern University. Rogers told CNN “I figured like it was my duty to vote. I wanted to get my vote in to voice my opinion. And I wasn’t going to let nothing stop me. So I waited it out. ” Rogers was the last person to cast a ballot at his voting center in Houston. He told CNN that he wasn’t upset by the long wait but that he thought “the process could’ve been done better than that.” “But that wasn’t going to deter me from voting,” he added.
Jackson Lee told CNN the site had only about 10 machines and that a couple extra were brought in. She said the “20-year-old machines” at the site were not reliable and estimated they needed 30 more to handle the crowds. On social media, Rogers was lauded for his commitment to the process, with Twitter users calling him a “patriot” and a “hero.”
