Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded vote-by-mail access for people with disabilities — specifically people who are blind or paralyzed and need assistance marking their ballot.

    My favorite thing about mail in voting is Utah. Utah for years had a very successful mail in voting operation. Everyone loved it. A few critics here and there, but generally well respected. Then Trump lost and now mail in voting is a very bad thing, don’t you know! (even thought Trump won by an overwhelming majority in Utah via mail in voting)

      Same thing in Arizona. No excuse needed, anyone can get a mail in ballot. Let’s you sit on your couch and do research while you fill out it. When you’re ready, just put it in the mailbox.

      Now that I live in Texas, I miss that system a ton.
