Arnold Schwarzenegger pitches in $250K to help Texans vote safely during COVID
Tens of thousands of Texas voters in one of the regions hardest-hit by COVID-19 will safely be able to cast ballots, thanks to an unlikely source: The Terminator.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor and last Republican governor of California, is sending $250,000 through a foundation he runs to Cameron County on the Texas border to help that area open up supercenter polling sites that will assure people have enough social distancing to safely vote in the fall elections.
“We all have to do as much as we can so people can vote,” Schwarzenegger said after dialing into the Cameron County Commissioner’s Court meeting on Tuesday via ZOOM. “We have to give the people the opportunity to do that.”
The money is a huge boost for the county, said Remi Garza, the Cameron County elections administrator.
