Texas election judge fired over Facebook post with slur

DALLAS (AP) — An election judge in Texas has been fired for a Facebook post that included a racial slur.
The Dallas Morning News reports that during a Dallas County Commissioners Court meeting on Tuesday, Randy Smith initially told officials he didn’t remember what he had posted.
A county official displayed an iPad in front of Smith showing comments he had made last summer that included a derogatory term for blacks. Smith then acknowledged he made the comments but asked for leniency.
