Texas county rejects half of mail-in ballot
applications amid new voter restrictions

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 1/16/2022 12:03:34 PM

Election officials in the Texas county that includes the state capital, Austin, have rejected about half of applications for mail-in ballots, following new voting restrictions brought in by Republicans. The voter identification rules have led to the rejection of about half of the 700 mail-in ballots requested in Travis county for primary elections in March, according to the county’s clerk. The denied ballots in Travis county follow a similar trend across Texas, with officials in Harris county, which includes the city of Houston, and Bexar county, which includes San Antonio, also turning down a substantial number of mail-in ballot applications.

Comments:

Voter fraud is exceedingly rare and all claims of rigged elections have been disproven, according to the press, and never you mind the many "racist" attempts to further rig the vote because the press wants to see more fellow Marxists elected.

If you aren't properly registered to vote, you aren't a voter.

I am with the secretary of state, and am surprised at the rate of returned ballots in Austin aka "California East". You'd think all those progressive, woke voters would know exactly what the need to do to make their vote count.

#4, widespread rejection of bogus mail-in ballot applications indicates widespread attempts at voter fraud and a willingness to do something about it. That's newsworthy. Extract the matters of fact from the editorializing and there's valuable information that we'd not otherwise learn from the US press, whose bias is staggering and perhaps even worse than in the UK in that the latter at least presents some facts, versus ignoring inconvenient news entirely.

"In Texas, state Republicans last year enacted new voting laws that require absentee voters to include their driver’s license number, state ID number or the last four digits of their social security number on their applications. Counties then have to match this information with voter profiles to approve them for a mail-in ballot." The mail-in ballot requests were probably rejected because they did not include either the applicant's Texas driver's license, the applicant's Texas ID number, or the last 4 digits of the applicant's social number, OR that the submitted document cannot be matched with a record to verify its authenticity. Note also: these documents do not prove or disprove U.S. Citizenship. If you have been lawfully issued a Texas driver's license OR a Texas ID card you have previously proven to the state of Texas that (1) you are a U.S. Citizenship OR that you are legally in the United States, (2) that you are a resident of Texas, and (3) and your identity. You do not need to be a U.S. Citizen to get a Social Security Card. The Article suggests that many or most of these applications have been rejected because Texas does not have sufficient information to approve them based on the unstated premise that those records are screwed up, incomplete or otherwise insufficient. ITS TEXAS' FAULT! We are supposed to believe that Texas cannot ascertain to whom it has issued driver's licenses and/or Texas IDs, and that the federal government does not know to whom it has issued Social Security Cards.

Voting is not a sacred right. It is a privilege. So is banking, going to the doctor or a clinic where you have to present ID and other documents. In Texas to get a drivers license you need to show proof of citizenship, the Gyardian is left wing trash.

Can't get much easier. If you want to vote absentee, simply include your driver’s license number, state ID number or the last four digits of your social security number on your application. The information you provide should match your county profile, ensuring YOU and only you get to cast your vote. There's a reason corrupt politicians wanted the sloppy chain of custody procedures we witnessed in the last presidential election.

This has to do with new election laws passed in special session of the Texas legislature where the driver's license or last four digits of social security number are used to VERIFY this person as an actual living person for a paper trail to prevent cheating. The media is spinning it that it is preventing people from voting due to race-- this has nothing to do with race! Those who get notice of rejection are allowed to correct the mistakes and are not prevented from "curing" their own ballots. This is not disenfranchisement in the least, but it is inconvenient if they did not follow instructions.

Fourth shot of Covid vaccine is NOT enough

Israeli study finds

Posted by Ribicon 1/17/2022 9:53:20 PM Post Reply
The fourth dose of the Covid vaccine is less effective on the Omicron variant and provides only limited defence, a preliminary study in Israel has found. Israel's Sheba Medical Center began administering a fourth vaccine to more than 270 medical staff last month during a trial program. Experts studied the defence of the Pfizer booster in 154 people after two weeks and the Moderna booster in 120 people—who had previously been vaccinated three times with the Pfizer vaccine—after one week. The clinical trial found that both groups showed increases in antibodies 'slightly higher' than following the third vaccine last year. But it said the increased antibodies did not prevent

Alnaby, NY—State landmarks will be lit in red, green, and black Monday night to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, New York Gov.

An artist has accused Lego of recreating a leather jacket he made for Queer Eye cast-member Antoni Porowski without the artist’s permission, claiming that a toy jacket included in a Lego set based on the Netflix show is a “blatant copy” of his design. James Concannon, whose clothes have been regularly worn by Porowski on the popular program, filed a lawsuit against the Danish toy giant in a Connecticut district court last month. The designer, who is seeking damages, alleges that one of the outfits included in the set for Porowski’s figurine copies “the unique placement, coordination, and arrangement of the individual artistic elements” on the jacket.

Los Angeles’ top prosecutor is under fire for allowing a transgender woman who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl as a minor to face a no-jail wrist-slap sentence. Hannah Tubbs, now 26, pleaded guilty to attacking the girl in a women’s bathroom at a Denny’s restaurant in 2014, two weeks before she turned 18, the Los Angeles Times reported. LA District Attorney George Gascón filed charges against Tubbs in early 2020, not long after taking office. But the progressive DA has refused to try juveniles as adults, citing studies that show adolescent brains aren’t fully developed until age 25 and claiming that young offenders can be rehabilitated
