— Republicans promised new voting rules would make it “easier to vote and harder to cheat.” But as the dust settled Wednesday evening in Texas — which held the nation’s first primary — voters in both parties had their ballots caught by the changes.
“Texans are the ones feeling the impact now, but unfortunately this is just a preview of what could happen in other states,” said Mimi Marziani, president of the Texas Civil Rights Project, which has sued Texas over the law. Texas Secretary of State John Scott, an appointee of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, and others in the GOP have said the rejections were likely a matter of most voters being unfamiliar with the new requirements and would become less of an issue over time.
Barnes compared the problem of finding poll workers right now to employers struggling to fill jobs but said he expected to have enough poll watchers, which is generally a lesser time commitment, for “every single hour, every single poll” come November.The new rules in Texas also banned drive-thru voting, 24-hour polling locations and prohibits elections officials from proactively sending mail ballot applications to voters.
