– Texas Secretary of State John Scott said Wednesday, Jan. 19 that some counties have mistakenly contributed to the confusion involving applications for mail-in ballots.One reason is people filled out the old form.
Asked if the Secretary of State’s Office told the counties about the new application before then, Scott said, “They absolutely would have had known where to go to get that, just like they got it and incorporated into the applications that they send out now.” “That’s what we’re looking into right now, is whether those were actually sent out that were old forms as well as connected to the link. “We don’t believe that was mischievous in any way.”Election administrators in Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties all told CBS 11 they had provided links to the new application on their websites too.
Jenkins and Democratic party officials have said that both political parties have sent out the updated application for mail-in ballots.Those eligible to do so are 65 and older, sick or disabled, those expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day, or out of the county during early voting and on Election Day.
As part of the new law, the state now requires applicants to place either a driver’s license or a Texas DPS number or the last four digits of their social security number on the form. That’s because most people may not remember which number they initially provided when they registered to vote.
