Texas will oppose mail-in voting

Breitbart:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told Breitbart News Tonight that he will continue to battle the progressive attempts to force mail-in voting, stressing that vote-by-mail is the “most likely place for fraud” and noting that Democrats hope to loosen voting rules in the Lone Star State to turn it blue.

Paxton discussed the Democrats’ increased calls for vote-by-mail, describing the situation in Texas as “really simple.”

“The law doesn’t allow for mail-in ballots in the cases that this judge ruled that they should be allowed,” he said of the recent decision of a Travis County district court judge, who ruled that registered voters should be able to use the coronavirus pandemic as a legitimate reason to vote by mail.

The Texas legislature allows mail-in voting in very specific cases, Paxton said, citing sicknesses or physical ailments that preclude an individual from physically going to a polling location.

“That’s the law in Texas, and we had a judge here that decided that the Texas legislature didn’t have it right, that they were not permitted to have laws they passed, that they could stay in place,” Paxton explained, adding that they are constantly “under assault” from progressive groups over voting laws.

“We’re under assault. We have law firms filing lawsuits against us — we think they’re funded by George Soros — on all kinds of election issues. It’s an onslaught. It’s not just this mail-in ballot effort,” he said.

“We’re getting hit with all kinds of different lawsuits. And of course, if they’re successful, they hope to turn the state into a Democratic state permanently and keep the rules so loose on voting and fraud, that it’d be hard to ever win the state back,” he said.

Main-in ballots make it easier for Democrats to cheat.  There is no verification that the vote is being cast by a person eligible to vote as there is with the requirement in Texas to present a valid voter ID when voting.
