A Texas federal judge on May 19 ruled that all of the state’s 16 million voters can request absentee mail-in ballots during the CCP virus pandemic if they have health concerns.
District Judge Fred Biery ruled Tuesday that all registered voters who “lack immunity from COVID-19 and fear infection at polling places” will be able to cast a ballot by mail under the ”disability” provision in the state’s vote-by-mail election code. Absentee mail-in ballots in the state are generally limited to those aged 65 and above or those with a “sickness or physical condition” that prevents in-person voting.
