Gee, I hope so too. I am predicting that the Election Commission and the Legislature will not be willing to get the word out sufficiently.
...and? the point is?Yet Texas does not require a voter ID for voting by mail...
See, the thing is - ID numbers and social security numbers don’t change.
My PA driver license number remained exactly the same the entire time I lived in PA.
My NJ driver license number has been exactly the same the entire time I’ve lived in NJ.
This includes when I got married and changed my name, when I’ve moved, etc.
Social security number remains the same your entire life - no matter where you live or if you change your name.
If they put down one incorrectly - they could fix the mistake.
Also, luckily, all this is getting worked out ahead of the primaries..and it would seem county clerks are getting word out to residents how to fix any errors.
Why do people want voters casting mail in votes when their identity cannot be confirmed?

Interim Jefferson County Clerk provides tips to avoid common mail-in ballot mistakes
This is the first election under the state's new election law, and it's changed the process for election clerks.www.12newsnow.com
No. If they voted, they are not stupid or lazy. We are talking about the people who can't figure out how to comply with the laws about voting.Would that mean that a majority of the voters in Texas , who have elected a republican state legislature, a republican govenor and AG, and voted for the republican presidential candidate consistently and constantly since 1986 are either stupid or lazy?
The elderly and disabled have no right to get a pass on the requirements of the law.Do you always feel this way about the rights of the elderly and disabled? I think it's more likely that they, in perhaps a naive way, trusted that the legislature that most of them voted for would count their valid vote this time like in decades past.
Sounds like a personal problem.That should be my thesis sentence. I would have saved lots of bytes on DP if I hadn't written so much in the OP because that is exactly what I could have said in such a concise and pointed summary of my message here.
If that's the case...and I seriously doubt that's the case for a quarter of all the voters...then those voters need to be proactive in making sure they can vote...not be stupid or lazy and think the laws don't apply to them.Its not ignorance of the law that a 65 year old man or woman in TX that originally registered to vote with a drivers license number that is no longer valid due to a change in the DL system years ago and doesnt know the old number.
Hell, in some instances, even the state doesnt know the old number or information that would be required to ask for a ballot today.
Care to bring up another pointless point, are are we gonna call it quits with this one?

only thing stupid and lazy are your arguments on the subject. Why do you support an anti American agenda?If that's the case...and I seriously doubt that's the case for a quarter of all the voters...then those voters need to be proactive in making sure they can vote...not be stupid or lazy and think the laws don't apply to them.
No. If they voted, they are not stupid or lazy. We are talking about the people who can't figure out how to comply with the laws about voting.
The elderly and disabled have no right to get a pass on the requirements of the law.
If they are naive enough to think that laws don't apply to them, then they are stupid or lazy.
Sounds like a personal problem.
So it goes...
What "lie", lightweight?Why? Most of the people repeating the lie don't believe it
I can't imagine anything "peachy" in The Great State of Texas.
Mmmmm pecan pie....Hey watch it buddy! I've seen Big Bend and I know why native Americans thought it was holy ground. The beach at Padre Island is beautiful. I've eaten oysters and shrimp from the Gulf, and I've won first prize for my pecan pie at the county fair pie contest with pecans from my own tree- twice, much to the chagrin of a bunch of old ladies. Besides, I'm here and I'm just peachy.

Oh, did you mean the politics? Yes we agree completely![]()
Because it was a reference to 50 states and not just one.Why? Because you can't defend this?
Any pecan pie tips you are willing to share?Hey watch it buddy! I've seen Big Bend and I know why native Americans thought it was holy ground. The beach at Padre Island is beautiful.

That's two questions. The lie is that there was any form of treason. The vote was to certify the election.What "lie", lightweight?
Those 147 Republicans didn't vote to overturn the election? Then what the hell were they voting for?
shrug...I don't understand your claim that they don't think the law applies to them. Either democrat or republican, I think they tried to vote in good faith. They didn't realize the new law would reject them. That doesn't mean that they believed they were somehow above the law.
I don't think they should get a pass, but rather a fair chance. If the rejected ballot came back to them this last week there probably won't be enough time to resubmit. Please consider that these new rules and the complications are an additional burden on those voters who are the least capable of overcoming this.
Mmmmm pecan pie....
My favorite.
Indeed, Padre Island is a beautiful sight to see. So is the hill country. East Texas Piney Woods....
I have caught many o' fish from the Laguna Madre, Port Isabel, Rockport and Port A.
I have swooned many a senioritas along the banks of the Rio Grand, (at Pepe's on the River down around McAllen..)
I do miss Texas. But I'm not so sure it's safe for this ol' Texas boy to be hanging out there these days. It's kinda gone bonkers.
WAIT! HOLD THE PRESSES!
I just thought of something really, really, cool that is all about Texas.
Whiskey Myers. They are from Texas. One of my favorite bands of all time. Then there's Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZ Top.
Yeah, Texas music is cool. Love me some Whiskey Myers.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Look. If people are unaware of the new law, that's their problem. I'm sure the new law was announced...all over the place. TV, radio, the internet.
As I keep saying, if they didn't know then they are either stupid or lazy.
They shouldn't come crying after it was themselves who screwed up.
What's going to be REALLY stupid is the same people won't fix their issues and, come November, they'll be crying all over again.
Too ****ing bad.
I say the same thing when i have to show my green pass to drive a truck.The point is that there are lot of people is thread who have NO idea what Texas voting requirements are but they are happy to defend this bullshit..
shrug...

Just relaying realityI thank you for the same.
Paranoid and ignorant can't be fun
Paperless electronic voting on touch screen machines does not provide confidence to ensure votes are counted the way voters intend.
The software on which votes are counted is protected as a corporate trade secret, and the software is so complex that if malicious code was embedded, no analysis could discover it. Further, because there is no voter verified paper record, it is not possible to audit the electronic vote for accuracy, nor is it possible to conduct an independent recount. This is a grotesquely designed, over-complicated, expensive system fraught with the potential for mistakes and undetected fraud. We should not trust the future of our nation to such malleable technology.
On July 23, 2003, the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute reviewed the electronic voting system in Maryland and found that it had security far below even the most minimal security standards.
In the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 2004, four top computer scientists from the University of California, Johns Hopkins University, and Rice University similarly critiqued Diebold’s voting system:
"We found significant security flaws: voters can trivially cast multiple ballots with no built-in traceability, administrative functions can be performed by regular voters, and the threats posed by insiders such as poll workers, software developers, and janitors is even greater. Based on our analysis of the development environment, including change logs and comments, we believe that an appropriate level of programming discipline for a project such as this was not maintained. In fact, there appears to have been little quality control in the process.
"…The model where individual vendors write proprietary code to run our elections appears to be unreliable, and if we do not change the process of designing our voting systems, we will have no confidence that our election results will reflect the will of the electorate."
Computers are inherently subject to programming error, equipment malfunction, and malicious tampering. If we are to ensure fair and honest elections, and retain voter confidence in our democratic process, we need to ensure that there are no such questions.
