Texas Democratic Party Files Final Brief on Request for SCOTUS to Take Up 26th Amendment case

In Texas, one can vote by mail only if they are (i) over 65, (ii) disabled, (iii) out of the County or (iv) in jail. The 26th Amendement bans discrimiantion based on age and Texas has a good argument on this issue. Chad Dunn is a very good attorney who managed to gut the Texas voter suppression/voter id law.
