Just a note on the Times article about Texas. It is a little more nuanced than the article. The County Clerk in Harris County is mailing an absentee application to all of their voters which the indicted Attorney General has tried to block, but a court has ruled that he may do that. The Texas Supreme Court has said that COVID is not disabled, but that the individual voter determines what illnesses may prevent them voting and that County Clerks have no authority to reject an application if a voter asserts that their disability or sickness prevents them voting. Travis County and many other County Clerks have stated that they will accept what the voter states. They don’t check when someone says that they will be absent on election day.
