The Texas Supreme Court has blocked a plan to allow voters who fear the coronavirus to use mail-in ballots for the November election.
The court late Friday granted a stay that overruled a lower-court order that had temporarily lifted mail-in voting restrictions to allow residents to vote by mail if they cite concerns about catching the coronavirus at polling places, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton spearheaded the effort to stop the mail-in voting initiative and had petitioned the Supreme Court for the stay.
The high court’s order stops the distribution of mail-in ballots to those who fear getting infected by voting in person for the election, at least until Paxton’s appeal is heard later this week.
“I am pleased that today the Texas Supreme Court confirmed that my office may continue to prosecute voter fraud and issue guidance on mail-in ballots” while an appeal plays out, Paxton said in a statement.
Paxton’s appeal is scheduled to be heard Wednesday.

Only way Republicans can win is make it harder for people to vote.
ReplyDeleteHistory shows us Democrats use voter fraud in every election and the mail in has already been exposed as another attempt. Illegal votes disenfranchise legal votes but Democrats don’t care if yours is counted correctly as long as they get the power they crave
DeleteVoter fraud and mail in ballots are made for each other... they are trying to prevent dead people and illegals from voting.
