State error likely caused past ballot rejections, elections chief says
Original: Elections chief: State error likely caused some ballots to be rejected in past elections
Texas's top elections official says a state-level error was likely responsible for some mail ballots being wrongly rejected in previous elections. The admission raises questions about how many voters were disenfranchised and whether the affected ballots or voters can be identified. It comes as scrutiny of mail ballot rejection rates continues following recent changes to ballot-by-mail rules and application requirements.
Why now: An official admission that a state mistake invalidated voters' ballots naturally draws public and press attention to election integrity.
