Texas Man Charged With Assaulting Election Worker

A Texas man, Jesse Lutzenberger, 63, was arrested for punching a 69-year-old election worker after being asked to remove his 'Make America Great Again' hat, which violates Texas law prohibiting electioneering at polling places. The incident occurred at a San Antonio library during early voting, where long lines have led to heightened tensions among voters. Lutzenberger initially complied with the request to remove his hat but put it back on while leaving, leading to a confrontation with the election worker. The worker sustained minor injuries but returned to his post after treatment. Bexar County officials condemned the assault, emphasizing that violence has no place in the electoral process. Lutzenberger faces felony charges and remains in jail, highlighting the need for calm and patience among voters during the contentious election period.
