Tarrant County’s Republican commissioners voted Wednesday to start the process of redrawing county commissioners’ precincts — a move that came with intense opposition from Democrats. Republican Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare put the redistricting item on the agenda for Wednesday’s commissioners court meeting. That alarmed Democrats, who say O’Hare wants to redraw the boundaries of Democratic County Commissioner Alisa Simmons’ precinct before she’s up for reelection next year.
