A church in Rowlett threatens to sue the city, accusing it of religious discrimination and election interference days before early voting begins.
A church in the downtown area threatens to sue the city, accusing it of religious discrimination and election interference days before early voting begins.“We want to serve the community any way we possibly can,” said Huddleston.So, when the Dallas County Elections Department asked the church to serve as Rowlett's only early voting site for the upcoming election, Huddleston agreed.
NBC 5 received a copy of the letter. It states that a recent review “indicates that the church’s certificate of occupancy was issued in error.” “I was shocked. I had to ask a lawyer friend what does this mean? Simply put, he said reverend, there's no way you can get this done in nine days and so I was at a loss,” recalled Huddleston.“There is only one facility that makes sense to host this kind of turnout, and that is the Rowlett Community Center," said Mayor Margolis last week.
