Citing Supply Chain Problems, Texas Secretary of State Places Limits On Voter Registration Forms

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In September 2021, Texas passed a set of voting rights limits restricting when counties can offer early voting and blocking them from sending unsolicited mail-in voting applications. Already, we are seeing a high amount of mail-in ballot applications being rejected due to provisions Senate Bill 1 has enacted. If people can’t receive information about how to fill out the voting apps, then you will have a high rejection rate.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Office says it has only a limited number of physical applications to make matters even more complicated as we head towards the 2022 midterms. According to CNN, ongoing supply chain issues make the cost of paper higher.

Texas Secretary of State spokesman Sam Taylor told CNN the state ordered a bulk supply of forms on November 8th and just received them. If there are a limited amount of actual voting applications in hand– Texas should allow you to register online. Well, no. Online voting registration is not permitted in Texas–which in 2022 is crazy.

Right now, “voters can update their registration information through Texas.gov, and people can register to vote while renewing their driver’s licenses or personal ID cards through the Texas Department of Public Safety, Taylor said.

1. Is there a shortage of paper? Of printers? Of ink?

Or do they hire medieval monks to hand write all of their applications, and there's now a shortage of monks?

Gov. Greg Abbott’s pick for top Texas election post worked with Trump to fight 2020 results

As secretary of state, Fort Worth attorney John Scott would oversee election administration in Texas.

BY JAMES BARRAGÁN AND PATRICK SVITEK OCT. 21, 2021 UPDATED: 2 PM CENTRAL


Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday appointed John Scott — a Fort Worth attorney who briefly represented former President Donald Trump in a lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania — as Texas' new secretary of state.

As secretary of state, Scott would oversee election administration in Texas — a task complicated in recent years by baseless claims of widespread election fraud from Republicans in the highest levels of government, fueled by Trump. The former president has filed a flurry of lawsuits nationwide and called for audits in Texas and elsewhere to review the results of the 2020 presidential elections. Trump’s own attorney general, Bill Barr, said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud nationwide, and in Texas, an official with the secretary of state’s office said the 2020 election was “smooth and secure.”

Scott could not immediately be reached for comment.
