Related: About this forumContacted the Voter Registration Web Page on the TX Secretary Of State Web Site To Down Load an
Application for a Voter Age 66 and Having Disabilities, To Register and Be Able To Vote By Mail.
State Office site blocked sending the pdf. Called the county voter office to find that the office worker would not send the application to the address unless the disabled person had once been registered to vote in the county but would sent one since someone at that address was registered in the county. So if a person with disabilities or is age 65 or older and has been living in a county for any years and has been unable to get to the poles, the State can refuse to allow them to get an application by mail. This person has been unable to go vote due to disabling conditions. Apparently those who have never voted are being refused an application just to register to vote.
I hope the judge that is hearing the Texas voter registration case calls around in county seat voter offices in Texas, that went Red, and ask about getting an application for a Texan that is disabled or aged or may have never voted but has had a Texas driver's license for 50 years. It seems that one has to prove their disability test before even be allowed to have a piece of paper with an application on it in to start the process of voting in Texas. Wanting to vote in Texas for the first time, being a person with disabilities and being a person age 65 or older, seems to be a great hardship, and likely discrimination, according to my understanding of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Conservative rigging is sickening.

(4,695 posts)vote somewhere in the United States. This law says that they should be able to contact any county election office and receive an application. Then have the right to fill it out, have it authenticated that they once lived in the county using a work check payment stub, then receive a current mail-in ballot for an upcoming election.
Seems like if that is the law, the election office would simply send the application to the caller at the address requested even if it were out of state.
This sounds like fraud.

building and the announcements of an election is a state matter, in my opinion voting is a federal matter and the Supreme Court can not over run a voting Rights Act passed by Congress to allow a State to refuse American citizenship. I interpret federal law and the Constitution to mean that a picture ID must be made at a voting booth if a state wants a picture ID. Registration by the election officials beside the voting booth area is a Constitutional right.

A Republican candidate running for the Illinois state legislature has switched the state where she voted between Illinois and Wisconsin in the past few years.

(4,695 posts)If Business and High Schools make IDs for its entire student body; no Freshmen have an ID for high school and a Photographer can makes pictures for the Year Book, then why does the State of Texas have to harass voters? There is no need for a person to have to come to vote with an ID already made unless they already have one.
Texans are seeing the need to get rid of Extremist A**holes in the state government and state legislature. This includes Gregg Abbott turning over the privatization of public schools to the Texas Supreme Court/State Judiciary, instead of just stopping the education funding law suite after 2 losses. In my opinion, education is the biggest reason that Gregg Abbott should be gone from Texas government.

1. Identify the environment of the link. What is it called? What text is right next to it? What is the name of the file?
2. press Ctrl+u
3. Skim the source-code for the position you are looking for. There should be a direct webadress of the desired file. Copy it or write it down.
4. Enter the adress into your browser and the file should be right there.

(4,695 posts)a federal matter many years ago. You have to call the Office of the State, so the State of Texas can have your home address which is another harassment in my opinion.
