~ 40% of mail ballot applications AND MAIL BALLOTS are being flagged for rejection in Harris County. This mass rejection of law-abiding voters isn’t a glitch of TX #SB1, it’s a feature. It’s a game designed to trick you at every turn, starting with the application.
Voters must first use the same identifying number(SSN or DL#) that they used when registering. If you registered 10 years ago, that’s a coin-toss. If you guess wrong, guess what? Flagged for rejection.
Also, since government officials are now forbidden from sending out mail ballot applications by threat of incarceration, many voters rely on campaigns to send out their own branded applications, which are frequently missing key portions required by the new law.
If you're one of the lucky 6 out of 10 who make it to the voting round, you get to play the same guessing game all over again. Another 4 in 10 mail ballots are failing at that stage by missing the new box *once again* asking for ID, hiding under the envelope flap. 
Voting in Texas in 2022 is a tricky game of luck and skill. But democratic participation should not be a tricky riddle. We cannot accept a system where 4 out of every 10 mail ballots need to be flagged for rejection. We’re examining all options we have to push back.
