Appeals Court Restores Texas Mail-In Voter ID Rules
· Texas Border Business
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated key provisions of Texas's Election Integrity Act, Senate Bill 1, which was challenged in a federal district court. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hailed this decision as a victory for election integrity, emphasizing that it requires mail-in voters to provide an identification number or Social Security number that matches state records. The law also allows voters to correct defects in their mail-in ballots and strengthens protections against coercion at polling places. Paxton has committed to defending these laws to ensure fair elections and maintain public trust in the electoral process.
