Sounds like the reform was needed. Unlike California which is now ballots for everyone with no safeguards, Texas is old school show up and vote unless you ask and then your ID better match


Texas elections officials have returned thousands of mail-in votes due to ID requirement issues just weeks before the state's March 1 primary, NPR reported.

Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, signed an elections overhaul into law Sept. 7 after Democrats spent months protesting what they say are efforts to weaken minority turnout and preserve the GOP's dominance.

The Justice Department then filed a November lawsuit against Texas alleging the law improperly restricts disabled voters or voters who cannot read or write from being able to receive adequate assistance at voting locations.

Harris County officials said they had returned for correction nearly 2,500 of 6,548 mail-in ballots received — nearly 38%. Harris includes Houston and is the state's most populous county.

"Mail ballots are people's votes," Harris County Elections Administrator Isabel Longoria told NPR. "So, I am very concerned — not just with the complexity of the process, but how that added complexity is going to increase the number of mail ballots that we have to reject."

Longoria is obviously a democrat who knows her voters are stupid - allegedly

The ID that voters use on a mail-in ballot and on the envelope — driver's license number or partial Social Security number — must match what's on the voter registration record.

One problem has been that voters applying for a mail-in ballot didn't remember what ID they used to register, NPR reported.

"All of us county election officials are unfortunately anticipating a higher number of mail ballot rejections," Williamson County Elections Administrator Chris Davis, told NPR.

Sam Taylor, assistant secretary of state for communications, told NPR that Texas voters already registered can update their registration online — even after the registration deadline.

"You are not changing anything by adding information to your voter registration record, you are just making it more complete," Taylor told NPR. "So that doesn't start the clock over in terms of whether or not you were registered by the deadline for the March primary."

Taylor added that his office recommended that voters provide both their Social Security and driver's license numbers on their application and return ballots, just in case.

So really not a problem for legal voters with an IQ above H Husky's
