There’s a problem buried inside Texas’s latest election bill, and it’s not one of the headline-grabbing restrictions that have torn the Legislature apart during the special session. Nonetheless, it could disenfranchise a significant number of the state’s voters.
Really though, anything to create more hoops for voters to jump through to cast their ballots…
The bill would require either a driver’s license number or Social Security number to vote by mail.
“1.9 million voters—about 11 percent of the total—have only one of the two numbers on file with the state.”
The numbers speak for themselves.
