I like the way “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America” has become a radical, far left idea.

DeBeauvoir also said a state database that could hold some of the historical information was blank for Travis County,…
…Harris County, Bexar County, and Dallas County, counties which contain the cities of Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas, respectively, the four largest cities in Texas, all of which contain Democratic majorities.
C’mon, y’all know that’s the other shoe waiting to drop.
Man, with so many outright violations of the ADA, 14th A., and dog knows what else, DOJ better be teeing up a load of federal civil rights suits.

We voted by mail in the Pres election, I have to say it was more of a pain in the Ass then voting in person. I still wonder if it was counted. I won’t do it again.

Next stop for Texas - you can vote if you are a white Christian property owning man who has never been a registered Democrat.

Yes, it was a giant pain and you could only confirm that your ballot was received; I couldn’t find any way to confirm that it was counted. Mail ballot counting can’t be done until Election Day “because”, and where else would the MAGAts get their FB conspiracy theories about “votes changing the next day” if ballots were counted as they came in?
I registered to vote over 40 years ago. Do I remember what ID I used? Hell, no. And I’m supposed to rely on the county clerk’s office to notify me? Pfft.
I really, really don’t like the requirement to put the same ID on the outer ballot envelope, along with the signature. Hello, identity theft . . .

Nah, just their Republican boyfriends. So they can’t, you know, do that thing that, contrary to what, given the GOP platform, one might expect, they do do, even though having to resort to a Republican for a boyfriend to do so would seem punishment enough for being born dickless.

Depends on the mood of the person doing the processing. You’d have to specify which number it was supposed to be. And does anyone else find this just a touch convenient?
DeBeauvoir also said a state database that could hold some of the historical information was blank for Travis County.
So if the state can’t determine what number you used to register way back when, that’s just too bad for you?

I think these new restrictions will tend to bite the GOP in the behind. Beto is a very good, grassroots level communicator and he’ll be able to use the primary experience to educate voters on how to adapt for the general election. Keep in mind a record 11 mill Texans voted in 2020 even though Abbott did everything possible to rig the process against majority Dem areas. Dems basically cut the Presidential margin in half from 2016 with Biden not spending much, if any, money.

Can you simply re-register?
You are still registered, but you may have to vote in person if the application issues can’t be resolved. Some people can’t get to polling places easily, and some of us would rather not mingle with the unvaccinated MAGA assholes.
I haven’t seen a lot of information about what happens if your absentee ballot is “deficient”. This has the makings of a giant hassle for the counties (not to mention the voters).
The shortage of voter registration forms is inexcusable and would be unnecessary if Texas cared about helping people vote.
According to Chimene, this is one of the pitfalls of Texas being among the few states in the country that does not have online voter registration. Supply chain issues are not as big of a problem when you can just direct someone to a website.
ETA @ajm I haven’t seen any indications that a replacement registration would be allowed. You get to play Go Fish with the voting records clerk, I guess.

What I was driving at was whether there was a way to cancel your original registration with those numbers you can’t remember and re-register and base an absentee voter application on the new registration.

Travis County Clerk DeBeauvoir, who is highly respected, was a target of corrupt AG Ken Paxton’s machinations. She had $70,000 in legal expenses, which ultimately the good citizens of Travis County paid. I’m sure that made Paxton and Abbott both happy, because they live to punish Austin-area commie pinkos.

Serendipity? A well hatched plan of supression? Whatever the case,fair voting and democracy are in jeopardy and the prospects to remedy in Congress are bleak.
This is a feature, not a bug.
It is a breach of the right of public accommodations - I hope there is a disability group that is suing . . .

Just like religion used to be the deciding factor in whether two people become a couple, now it seems that political stances have become that. Even living with someone from the same party is fraught with problems, how far to the left (or right) is acceptable. Then there’s the in-laws factor including the crazy uncle you see only at Thanksgiving but knows libs are behind it all. Oy vey.
