| Texas Law Requiring Voter ID for Mail-In Ballots Wins After Biden Admin Lawsuit |
| 2025-08-06 |
| [Breitbart] A federal appeals court upheld on Monday a Texas law that requires voters to provide proof of identification when voting with mail-in ballots. A three-judge panel reversed a lower district court’s ruling, deciding that the Texas state law did not violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is crucial to confirm voter eligibility, as required under law. “Mail-in ballots are not secure,” Judge James Ho wrote in the unanimous opinion. The ruling included findings that “mail-in ballot fraud is a significant threat.” “The ID number requirement is obviously designed to confirm that each mail-in ballot voter is precisely who he claims he is. And that is plainly ‘material’ to ‘determining whether such individual is qualified under State law to vote,’” Ho continued. Fox News wrote: The Fifth Circuit — the same court that ruled in favor of Texas — has allowed for the tightening of voter rules in the past. Recently, judges with the Fifth Circuit ruled that mail-in ballots must arrive by Election Day to be counted, Politico reported. “Our precedents compel us to side with Texas. We have made clear that states have a legitimate interest in combating voter fraud, and thus enjoy ‘considerable discretion in deciding what is an adequate level of effectiveness to serve [their] important interests in voter integrity,’” Ho noted.

| #5 I used mail-in while I was in the military so I understand the need. The deal where states were sending out unsolicited ballots to unverified addresses was ludicrous. |

| #4 The ruling sounds good but it would be even better to do away with mail-in ballots altogether. |

| #1 Kamala Harris only got her Attorney General seat in California after a ton of mail-in ballots arrived after election day. If this works and we secure our elections, Democrats are FUCKED. No more illegal alien vote and no more ballot harvesting. |
