Texas must be far bluer* than we imagined for the GOP to be cheating like this.

Maybe, just maybe.... the ballots were rejected for good reason.

Please, do tell! What reason?[/quote]

They were likely for Democrats. Can’t have that in the People’s Republic of Texas. [/quote]

The reason....

"Based on what we have heard from county election officials, the vast majority of mail-in ballot rejections were due to voters who did not provide any ID information on their carrier envelope," Sam Taylor, assistant secretary of state for communications, said in a statement.

So you have to put the ID information on the ballot AND on the envelope. Why? And it has to be the same identifying information you used to register to vote, perhaps decades ago. Do any of you remember whether you registered using your driver’s license number or using your social security number? I don’t. Both are fine but it has to be the one you used.
“Under Texas' new voting law, known as Senate Bill 1, voters have to provide a partial Social Security number or driver's license number on their mail ballot application — as well as on the return envelope. And the ID number they provide has to match what's on their voter registration record, which could be from decades ago.

Davis said this new requirement tripped up an unprecedented number of voters. He and his staff helped many of them fix their ballots, but some voters did not fix their ballot in time to be counted.”[/quote]
