The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ruled yesterday that portions of Texas Senate Bill 1, adopted in September 2021, violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court found that parts of S.B. 1 require officials to reject mail-in ballot applications and mail-in ballots based on errors or omissions that are not material in determining whether voters are qualified under Texas law to vote or cast a mail ballot.

    I’m sure the taxpayers of TX are happy that their money is going to legal defense in lawsuits that end up overturning unconstitutional laws that passed by some of the same people that get paid to defend (and lose) in the courts.

    When attorneys for the state write laws that are found unconstitutional they should have their pay revoked.

    Plus, it makes no sense. Voting (in person or by mail) is based on your signature, you really think someone intent on stealing my vote could fake my signature but not come up with my drivers license number?
