U.S. Supreme Court Denies Request To Allow All Texans To Vote By Mail

The transcript discusses the legal battle over mail-in voting in Texas. The Texas election code allows mail voting for those over 65, out of the county, in jail, or with a disability. The Texas Democratic Party sued, arguing COVID-19 fear should be considered a disability. A federal judge agreed, but the decision was blocked by the Fifth Circuit Court. The Supreme Court declined to intervene, but Justice Sotomayor suggested the case be considered before the November election. The state's attorney general opposed universal absentee ballots, citing potential fraud.
