Breaking: Texas Supreme Court blocks expansion of mail-in voting during coronavirus pandemic. bit.ly/2M6rcLS
The court ruled a lack of immunity to the new coronavirus does not qualify a voter to apply for a mail-in ballot. bit.ly/2M6rcLS
“We agree with the State that a voter’s lack of immunity to COVID-19, without more, is not a ‘disability’ as defined by the Election Code,” the court wrote. bit.ly/2M6rcLS
The issue is being fought on multiple fronts now but is likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court as Texas Republican officials continue to resist expanding voting by mail during the pandemic.​​​​​​​ bit.ly/2M6rcLS
The court also rejected Texas AG Ken Paxton’s request to prevent local election officials from sending mail-in ballots to voters who were citing lack of immunity to the coronavirus as a disability. bit.ly/2M6rcLS
Those local election officials denied they were operating outside the law and argued they cannot deny ballots to voters who cite a disability — even if their reasoning is tied to susceptibility to the coronavirus. bit.ly/2M6rcLS
