A Federal Appeals court ruled that Texas can enforce the election integrity bill SB1.
Texas may now enforce a law that “invalidates mail-in ballots submitted without a voter’s state identification number or partial Social Security number.”
Judge James Ho wrote, “The number-matching requirements are obviously designed to confirm that every mail-in voter is who he claims he is And that is plainly material to determining whether an individual is qualified to vote.”
A federal appeals court has ruled that Texas may enforce a state law that invalidates mail-in ballots submitted without a voter’s state identification number or partial Social Security number.
A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the requirement the Texas Legislature enacted in 2021 as part of an election-integrity bill known as SB1 did not violate a federal law preventing states from imposing voting requirements “not material” to the validity of ballots.
In a brusque, nine-page opinion, Judge James Ho twice said the appeals panel had “little difficulty” concluding that Texas’ law was valid.
“The number-matching requirements are obviously designed to confirm that every mail-in voter is who he claims he is,” Ho wrote for the panel. “And that is plainly material to determining whether an individual is qualified to vote.”
Trump celebrated the ruling, saying that it “should be nationwide.”
THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! Should be Nationwide!!! President DJT
“Appeals court upholds Texas law requiring ID numbers to cast mail-in ballots”
Major win in court!
