The Fifth Circuit restored nine provisions of Texas's 2021 election law, including mail-ballot ID and voter-assistance rules, largely finding that groups challenging them under federal disability laws lacked standing.
Judge Oldham said the challengers lacked standing to attack Texas's mail-ballot ID rules because they failed to show that any member faced a substantial risk of future harm. The court noted ID-related rejection rates fell from 11-12% to 2.7%
The court also rejected claims that groups had standing because they diverted resources to help voters comply. Citing the Supreme Court, Judge Oldham wrote that an organization cannot establish standing simply by spending resources in response to a challenged law.
One challenge reached the merits, but also failed. The court held that local prosecutors enforce election crimes but do not provide voting services, so they could not be liable for disability discrimination under the ADA or Rehabilitation Act.

Golly. Now why would a group with that name want to weaken election rules in Texas?

I wonder how much USAID money those groups were receiving.
Conservatives are winning more of these cases than we are losing. That’s a good thing!
