Okay, here’s the deal we’ve been so secretive about that we asked you to contribute to. And, boy howdy!, did you.
In Texas, voter ID requirements hit especially hard on people over the age of 65 and the disabled. However, these people can vote by mail, where no ID is required. And, through the tireless efforts of the Texas Democratic Party, if you register once to vote by mail, you can receive ballots by mail for the entire election season – primary, run-off, general election, run-off.
If you should happen to feel perky on election day and you have a proper ID, you can take your ballot to the polls with you, where they will destroy it and allow you to vote on the machine.
People can now easily request vote by mail ballots online, thanks to the new program.
Additionally, as a precinct chair, I can request my entire precinct or just my street. And these do not have to be mailed individually. They can be hand delivered to each persons house during block walking and multitudes can be delivered to the election office.
The ballots do request Democratic primary ballots to keep thieving Republicans from using our system. We also open the sections for getting a bunch of applications to only county chairs, precinct chairs, and the State Democratic Executive Committee members. Democratic candidates can also request use of the program.
If you’re in Texas and have any trouble finding yourself, please let Glen know. glen at txdemocrats dot com.
You’ve made a real difference in Texas. Thank you so much.
Glen and I have a few more tricks up our sleeve so save a couple of dollars to make things like this – that give grassroots activists the tools they need – happen. I’ll let you know when we’re ready for the next one.
HEADS UP: I just talked to Glen and we’re having a few glitches today. We really had no idea how many precinct chairs were going to start making list this morning! That’s great news, but the program is experiencing some problems. Hopefully, it won’t be the ACA!
Will this work all over TX? Have they got time to change the rules before the election? This is exciting!
1Our little Repugnican workerbee elections officials will find this v-e-r-y interesting…. and I cannot WAIT to get this out to the troops who have gone out to get their volunteer deputy registrar designations, who worked in our Booth at the Fair back in September… time to get rowdy. Kudos
2Very exciting! I guess it’s okay to spread the word now. Yay!
3The link is showing a redirect and dropping…
4Yeah, it’s acting kinky this morning, and I mean kinky other than running for ag commissioner.
Spread the word that we’re gonna have this sucker up and running sometime this week. If you do a county fair with wifi, invest in a small printer and you’re set to go!
5Wow. THe county fair has hit the 21st century. Imagine that.
6The website seems to have a redirect loop. It just redirects around in circles. Someone needs to brush up on their coding. But typos happen.
