A Texas appeals court on Friday ruled the Republican governor cannot limit drop-off sites for mail ballots to one per county, a setback for U.S. President Donald Trump.

Upholding a lower court decision, the appeals court ruled against Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals agreed with the lower court that limiting the number of drop boxes would increase the risk that voters could get infected with COVID-19, and would infringe on their right to vote.

“We don’t expect his limit to get lifted until the Texas Supreme Court rules,” said Myrna Perez, director of the voting rights and elections program at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan public policy institute which represented the groups challenging Abbott’s order.

This should have gone directly to the Texas Supreme Court. By the time it’s decided it will be moot.

This is what is going to happen soon in Kenya Corona cases are increasing day in day out, may GodHaveMercy on his people

It unbelievable that the USA does not have laws against election tampering! We are NOT a great nation!

This ruling is handwriting on the wall for a dismal future of Republican government in Texas. Abbott and crew are hastening the day of reckoning.

I’m so glad they waited to the last minute. Much more exciting to watch democracy on the edge of a cliff. Texans VoteOutEveryRepublican

All about Mail In ballots, Absentee ballots, and dead who are still registered - all provide great opportunity for FRAUD IN VOTING; it must be challenged, and Trump will - Please go vote in person where possible !

Republicans don't want you to vote.

What? I thought they already decided this one and did limit to one box... am I getting my election lawsuits mixed up?
