Texas vote by mail is limited to a few scenarios last I checked.
Crazy, considering mail fraud is highly punishable and pretty damn safe. I like that I have a QR code to verify online that my vote got counted.
We aren’t even allowed to do curbside voting unless you have a medical reason, and even then the poll workers will often give push back about it
Mail in voting is non-exsistent except for the elderly- coincidentally mostly republicans. Funny how that works huh?
There's a ton of protections with the mail. The Google says:" If a charge of mail fraud turns into a conviction, you face up to $250,000 in fines and imprisonment for up to 20 years."
Meanwhile, every 4 years I always hear about non vote by mail options having issues a with a cart of ballots going missing out some lame crap like that.
Hope it gets sorted out
I’m not arguing with any of that. I’m saying it literally isn’t an option for most voters in Texas
Not allowed
Can’t do it
