A Texas County Clerk’s Office, has reported that roughly half of Mail-in-Ballot Applications, filed since the State passed a Voting Reform Law last year, have been Rejected.

S. B. 1, was signed into Law by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) last September. The Law placed a significant emphasis Proof-of-Identification with regard to Mail-in-Voting and Absentee Applications. The Law, asks People who intend to Vote-by-Mail to provide either a Driver’s License number, or the last Four Digits of their Social Security number.

SB1 also Prevents Counties from sending out Mail-in-Ballot Applications to those who have Not specifically Requested them.

Half of Vote-by-Mail Applications, in Travis County, are being Rejected due to the New Requirements.

The Travis County Clerk’s Office said that as of Thursday it “has rejected about fifty percent of applications for ballot by mail that have been received for the March 1, 2022 primary election.” Travis County added, “Many other counties are experiencing the same high rejection rate.”

Since the new Absentee Ballot ID Requirements were enacted, 42 of 80 Applications have been rejected.

Democratic Lawmakers in the State, left Texas last August, in an attempt to Prevent the Law from going into effect.

“One thing that all Texans can agree [on] and that is that we must have trust and confidence in our elections,” Abbott said as he signed the Bill.

“The bill that I’m about to sign helps to achieve that goal. The law does, however, make it harder for fraudulent votes to be cast.”
