The new voter ID requirement on mail-in ballots is starting to cause some issues for elections officials, and voters may not even know their application had an error on it. Voters who chose to vote by mail are requesting ballots. But the new election law signed by Gov. Abbott last year is causing some applications to be rejected.
The problem is if both forms of identification aren’t on file and a voter only lists one of them and it’s wrong, the request is rejected. "I will tell you as the numbers increase of the applications, as they come in and when voters start returning their mail ballots and if they're voting by mail, we could see those numbers fluctuate and increase quite a bit," Sherbet said.
I mean wtf we all have hand held computers and u telling me we can’t vote on our sells spells like &!? to me
Put it all in the open until we all know who voted and for who there will always b room to still an election
Oh look, a fundamental right being blocked by Abbott....who would have thought....
Seems like pretty basic statistics. Some mail in ballots SHOULD be rejected. Those that don’t meet the requirements to be counted as a valid ballot.
No it’s not because of a new law. It’s because they don’t know what’s printed on their own drivers license and SS card. How dare we expect someone to look at their own card and write the number down? Or maybe they are frauds who tried getting ballots?
It's not difficult. Laws change paperwork changes. Get the new paperwork. It's free and easy to obtain.
I got my voter registration card today. Seems I followed the rules. So what's the problem.
