I looked a bit but couldn’t find the numbers of mail votes in Texas either locally or statewide. I thought that they were on some of the return info but I didn’t really look that hard.
With early voting like it is and you have mobile people they can be organized and transported for voting purposes. I know some churches do this on a Sunday afternoon after services where they all pool together and go to the early voting polls. Also some groups organize transportation for people in nursing/retirement centers, etc, pick them up take them to the polls, let them vote and maybe make a shopping stop on the way back to their domicles. In person early voting has changed voting somewhat.
But your question regrading ‘mail ballots’ is valid regarding the photo requirement. I guess they could be required to attach a copy of their photo ID to the mail in ballot. I’ve not read the requirements as spelled out in the law.
I want to thank you for the kind words re: True the Vote.
We are working diligently to clean up our voter rolls nation-wide but I want to address a factual error in your post:
No one from TTV has ever knocked on a door to verify the integrity of the voters registered at an address. We train and caution other groups from doing exactly that. When we do find a registration that we think is suspect, we forward the information to the proper authorities. TTV has never and would never insert itself into the process as you described.
I just want to be clear.
Thank you all again for your support.
