AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas Supreme Court has stopped, for now, a plan to send more than 2 million mail-in ballot applications to registered Houston-area voters before the November election.
The ruling Wednesday comes after GOP activists sued Harris County elections officials over a plan to send a mail ballot application to every registered voter in the state's most populous county, regardless of whether they’re eligible by law to vote by mail.
Texas generally limits mail-in voting to citizens with disabilities or those 65 or older.
