AUSTIN — More than a quarter of absentee ballots mailed to Dallas County election officials as of Thursday for March 1′s party primary have been rejected, according to Dallas County Election Administrator Michael Scarpello’s office.
So far, Scarpello’s office has returned 166 ballots to absentee voters to allow voters to “cure” any issues with their ballots. The reason those ballots were rejected was not specified, and The Dallas Morning News is seeking clarification.
March 1′s primary is the first balloting the state is conducting since the controversial election law Senate Bill 1 took effect.
Across the state, election officials have reported issues with the new law related to absentee ballots due to a new provision requiring voters to supply either their Texas ID number or the last four digits of their Social Security number.
Those issues had been related to rejected mail-in ballot applications. But now, it appears SB 1 is having effects on actual ballots.
“Voter suppression is alive and well in Texas,” said Wesley Story, spokesman for Progress Texas in a news release. “Texans warned Republican lawmakers about the impact their anti-voter law would have but they passed it anyway, and now we’re seeing the consequences in real time.”

Right because expecting to have a method to verify a vote is actually valid is so oppressive.
Who can’t list the last 4 of a social sec number? Such a dishonest argument to make.
good. only legal, certifiable ballots from citizens can be counted.
Vote only on Tuesday in November-—IN PERSON
ONLY absentee ballots approved well in advance.
No “helpers’ in nursing homes, etc.
Thanks for telling all of us in your own words where you stand...
Because 28% is “voter suppression” but 166 isn’t. :o
Bad ballots should NOT be counted, doofus.
“The reason those ballots were rejected was not specified”
My guess is they all came from the same non-existent address. Or they were submitted by Pepe LePew, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck and Tom and Jerry.
“only legal, certifiable ballots from citizens can be counted.”
And voted IN PERSON on Election DAY, not Election Month or Election Season. And with verifiable ID. If you need an ID to get the COVID Vax, you can produce the same ID to vote.
ONLY absentee ballots approved well in advance.
No “helpers’ in nursing homes, etc.
Add one more thing and I am with you -- Add voter ID by taking a real-time facial recognition photo before anyone is given a ballot.
Dems can't complain it is too hard to take your face to the polls. And it can be run against warrants, know felons, fugitives, etc. to be certain all votes are legit.
Why yes Wesley, very much so alive and well!
.
They all had republican on it. Dallas is as corrupt as Atlanta!
I note that in the time I have been here on FR all of the worst posters simply put something up and never say what they feel or believe, I do
A real tell in my book of attention prostitutes looking to se how may responses they get from a blatant falsehood looking to drag others into the same pit they dig with their masters in the MSM and elsewhere. Go ahead and call them out and you will see they post and run never stating their position on the story they put up as the first post in response. Ruins FR as a source with all of the breathless crap they put up and then run away
I am absolutely ok with how this sounds, but I don’t live in Texas. Sounds right to me that they check that they submitted a valid ballot.
If you can’t do that, go in person.
“Or they were submitted by Pepe LePew, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck and Tom and Jerry.”
Your dating yourself, lol. Can tell you are a vintage wine, like myself.
LOL...I hear there’s something new called a “Spongebob”?
“Dems can’t complain it is too hard to take your face to the polls. And it can be run against warrants, know felons, fugitives, etc. to be certain all votes are legit.”
Great idea.
Dallas is a blue area is it not?
Dallas County was 65/33 Biden/Trump.
And I’m sure that Mr. Story of Progress Texas is in favor of vaccine passports.
