With the US midterm elections approaching, Republicans in Texas are being accused of changing electoral rules in their favour. In Tarrant County, near Dallas, they've cut the number of election-day polling places by nearly 30 percent.

But the measures could also help galvanise the Democratic opposition. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent reports, with Wassim Cornet.

À l'approche des élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis, les républicains du Texas sont accusés de modifier les règles du jeu électoral à leur avantage. Dans le comté de Tarrant, près de Dallas, ils ont réduit de près de 30 % le nombre de bureaux de vote pour le jour du scrutin. Une décision contestée devant la justice, qui s'ajoute au redécoupage des circonscriptions électorales favorisant le Parti républicain. Mais ces mesures pourraient aussi contribuer à mobiliser les électeurs démocrates.
