Republicans push to restrict mail-in voting ahead of November
By Asher Notheis -
The midterm elections are less than two months away, and Republicans have been working since the last presidential election to restrict access to mail-in voting.
At least 18 states, most of which are run by Republican-controlled legislatures, have placed new limits on mail-in voting in an attempt to fight voter fraud. The new restrictions include requiring extra voter ID and shortening the time frame for voters to request their mail-in ballot and send it in, according to Reuters.
Texas passed a law in 2021 requiring election workers to reject mail-in ballots or applications if voters use different means of ID from what they provided when registering to vote. The state's March primary had a 12.4% rate in ballot rejections, compared to the 0.8% mail ballot rejection rate during the 2020 election, according to data from the secretary of state’s office.
