Federal Court Strikes Down Vote-By-Mail In Texas, Citing ‘Significant, Irreparable Harm’

Thursday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a decision by a District Court judge in San Antonio two weeks ago that would have allowed for expanded mail-in balloting during the pandemic.

The lawsuit, which listed the Texas Democratic Party as its lead plaintiff, sought to expand vote by mail in Texas to allow for anyone who wanted to cast a ballot by mail to do so until the coronavirus pandemic erodes. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed the suit, with the Appeals Court ruling in his favor, saying that requiring Texas to expand its mail-in balloting would present “significant, irreparable harm” to how the state alters its election rules since it would set the precedent of a court forcing a state to alter rules on the eve of an election.

, “The Court has great confidence in the ability of election administrators and law enforcement to prevent or prosecute ... the infinitesimal events of voter fraud, none of which are likely to affect election outcomes.”

Give a choice go in person or mail in- I want to go in person without a dam mask- we have the right to choose

Show ID, sign your name then vote ok? Fake voters discovered when real registered voters show up to vote, or fake voters try to vote after registered voters have already voted. Voter fraud is a lie to confuse dumb people who don't understand how voting works

VIENNA? I lost count of how many dead

Voter Suppression is the Cornerstone to GOP Politics. I know it sounds crazy because they are always talking that Patriotic Crap, that 2nd Admendment Crap but when it comes to the right to Vote, Crickets. VOTE BLUE 2020

Lifetime Obama judges?

Crazy when giving people access to voting is considered a “significant irreparable harm.”

'Significant irreparable harm' is there a lawyer in the house?

Voting Trump out = 'significant irreparable harm?'

If millions can take to the streets, the fears are unfounded.
