Voting policies are enacted and enforced primarily at the state level. These policies, which include voter identification requirements, early voting provisions, online voter registration systems, and more, dictate the conditions under which American citizens cast their ballots in their individual states.
THE BASICS
Texas permits early voting, but does not allow online voter registration and no-excuse absentee voting.
Texas' voter ID law has been subject to legal challenges. See below for further details.

Always good to get a reminder.

My mom always tell my lib brother that election day is the day after it occurs so he likely won't vote.

Am visiting Austin today and radio announced that 91% of all voting age people in Texas have registered to vote, and that is expected to climb to 93% by election time.

This means a lot of young and otherwise people who do not typically vote might indeed do so this cycle.

We need to stay alert,

And vote.

91%?  Yeah, I would question that number, but maybe true.  And, most of them won't show up to vote, but you're correct, it is a concern.

That is bullshit. No way that many people register. Something tells me that there are a lot of fraudulent names in those rolls. Illegals, the dead and people in comas. How honest is your govt' down there? You guys have a Soros stooge as a Sec of State?
