Judge Rules Texans Can Vote by Absentee Ballot

“A Texas federal judge on Tuesday ruled that all voters afraid of catching the novel coronavirus can request absentee mail-in ballots due to the pandemic,” CNN reports.

“The ruling is the latest in a legal battle in both federal and state courts between the Texas Democratic Party — which argues that amid the pandemic people shouldn’t have to choose between their right to vote and their health — and the state, which argues that election officials are ‘misapplying’ Texas’ ‘disability’ requirement for absentee mail-in voting.”
