A late-night ruling, just before voting begins in Texas on Tuesday, upheld Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's directive allowing for one ballot drop box location per county in the state.
The ruling from Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert L. Pitman came a day before early voting begins in Texas Tuesday.Texas joined many other states that responded to the Covid-19 pandemic by expanding early voting days and allowing those eligible to vote to either mail-in or hand deliver ballots.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had filed an emergency motion Saturday for a stay to block a district court order that would have allowed county officials to accept hand delivery of mail-in ballots at any county annex or satellite office.Read More"The district court's order undermines our election security, disrupts the democratic process, and will only lead to voter confusion. It cannot stand," Paxton said in the news release.
