A Texas Man Who Says He Waited Over Six Hours to Vote Faces Illegal Voting Charges

A Texas man who told CNN he waited for “a lit bit over six hours” at a polling center in Houston to participate in Super Tuesday last year was arrested and charged this week with two counts of illegal voting.

According to a June 24 indictment from the Texas attorney general’s office, Hervis Earl Rogers, 62, voted in the November 6, 2018, general and special elections and the March 3, 2020, Democratic primary election despite being on felony parole for a 25-year sentence for burglary.

He was previously convicted of felony burglary charges in 1989 and 1995, according to the indictment.
