Election officials in the Texas county that includes the state capital, Austin, have rejected about half of applications for mail-in ballots, following new voting restrictions brought in by Republicans.
The voter identification rules have led to the rejection of about half of the 700 mail-in ballots requested in Travis county for primary elections in March, according to the county’s clerk.
The denied ballots in Travis county follow a similar trend across Texas, with officials in Harris county, which includes the city of Houston, and Bexar county, which includes San Antonio, also turning down a substantial number of mail-in ballot applications.
Republicans in several states have sought to impose voting restrictions in the wake of baseless allegations of voter fraud by Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president who has struggled to accept the reality that he was beaten fairly by Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election.

Many illegal immigrants are not real handy with English or Spanish.
Dead people are having challenges voting in Texas?
It’s likely democrats doing a set-up, testing the republican rules, and preparing for demonization of the rules and republicans.
Zombies don’t write good.
That’s discrimination against the really stupid.
Wow! Color me surprised this happening in the demonrat strongholds.
Austin - CA invaders
Houston - BLM
San Antonio - illegals
The law is catching some of the fraudulent ballots. That is a good thing.
>baseless allegations of voter fraud by Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president who has struggled to accept the reality that he was beaten fairly by Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election.<
MSM spins and lies! OMG!
Why are stupid people allowed to vote in the first place? They have zero knowledge of issues, and if one does not pay taxes to run the ship, he/she should not be voting for politicians who encourage more handouts for not doing any work.
President Trump was “impeached” twice by DNC pubic hairs. Nothing for the DNC ‘RATS to be really proud of.
Propaganda, designed to assist the Biden voter law push.
350 ballots can swing an election, especially the primaries, where fewer voters show up.
“in the wake of baseless allegations of voter fraud by Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president who has struggled to accept the reality that he was beaten fairly by Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election.”
Can you spell and smell the absence of any slant ??
Three strikes in one sentence.
Not ballots. Applications for ballots.
Hey Houston has their share of illegals too...
“Republicans in several states have sought to impose voting restrictions in the wake of baseless allegations of voter fraud by Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president who has struggled to accept the reality that he was beaten fairly by Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election.”
That has to be one of the fairest, neutral, unbiased, and editorial-free news reporting I have read in some time.
Add Katrina transplants to Houston too..
Verifying that an applicant is a properly registered citizen voter is now claimed by the Dems to be suppressing the vote. People have a choice of submitting their driver’s license number, state ID number or the last four digits of their social security number on their applications. Counties then have to match this information with voter profiles to approve them for a mail-in ballot. Sounds good to me.
Not a “voting restriction.” It is a ballot integrity requirement that the ballot requester prove who they are.
