You're gonna have to show me where he said that.

From the SCOTx ruling denying universal vote by mail due to covid


There's no way to prove that a person is lying about a disability. The whole reason the GOP was trying so hard to keep Harris Co. from mailing out absentee ballot applications to all county residents was because they knew that people could just claim a disability and vote by mail regardless (and well they should). It's the same the state's voter ID law, if you don't have photo ID you can cast a regular ballot if you sign an affidavit stating that you had a reasonable hardship to obtaining an ID - and no one can challenge you on it. You could put "aliens from Mars stole my drivers license" and they'd have to say "Fine"

I stand corrected. According to https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/vote-mail-civil-disobedience/ it looks like he's threatening the election officials, not the voters.

Does this mean I should be fine doing mail in ballots with disability checked? I just don't want my ballots to get caught in some weird legal limbo and end up not being counted.

Unless you are physically unable to get to a polling station, I'd recommend everyone vote in person during the early voting period.

All I have to do is bring in the mail in ballot to surrender it, right? Is there anything else to that process I should know? Will I get any poo poo for having checked the disabled box?

This is what I'm doing. For anyone else planning on it, be aware that generally speaking - first day of early voting is far and away the busiest, and mornings are generally the busiest. Wait a few days and go by in the afternoon.

"I got better" should be a perfectly valid excuse and they can't really question it. I was thinking of just saying I was going to be absent and drop the ballot off in a post office out of county, but don't trust USPS right now.

No, you can't cast a mail-in ballot at a regular/early polling place, if you want to drop it off you have to go to the one dropoff location in Travis Co. - 5501 Airport Boulevard between 8am - 5 pm

What has ultimately come of the transit plan for Austin's Prop A? It looks like they snipped off most of the southern stuff. There's a terminus for Colony Park going east, but it looks like a lot more north-of-the-river property value elevation. What?

I mean it does go to the Airport and down South Congress, which is a good start.

It's up to the county whether or not to permit it. It's effective Oct 14, so pencil in the second week of November for when we start hitting close-down thresholds that they'll ignore

It doesn't matter any place that had a kitchen or can get a food truck outside is now a restaurant and they are figuring it out how to make the numbers work on the back end.

I'm still going to Brash Brewing though because I can be outside 15' from anyone.

We've been stable for some time, and that could just be noise, but if we're at the same level, constantly, with this level of restritctions, do they think it'll just stay the same. A number of hospital zones are approaching that 15% threshold
