USPS changes mean Texas mail ballots may need to be sent early to be counted in primary elections The changes, adopted last April and last December, could add at least a day to the time between when a mail-in ballot is sent and when it receives the postmark needed to be legally admissible.

TEXASΒ πŸ“£ Voting by mail in the March 3 primary? Send your ballot ASAP! If you wait until Election Day, it may not receive a same-day postmark and could be rejected.

Don't forget to include your ID information with your ballot! More info. πŸ‘‡

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Constantly changing voting rules cause confusion and chaos. For many lawmakers, that's the point. The Save America Act is designed to make it harder for specific groups of US citizens to vote.

The Senate could vote on it any day now. Tell Congress to STOP this anti-voter bill! VoteRiders.org/SAVE

Trump vows voter ID requirements for the midterms, 'whether approved by Congress or not' In social media posts on Friday, the president said if Congress failed to approve legislation mandating voter ID, he would issue an executive order.

Nope, he can’t do that.

In an effort to block specific groups of Americans from voting, the administration wants to issue an executive order to require voter ID nationally. The president doesn’t have the power to change US election laws. Period.

Today, we honor Native Alaskan civil rights activist, Elizabeth Peratrovich, who was monumental in passing our country’s first Anti-Discrimination Act in 1945.

Safeguards are in place to ensure the integrity of our elections – and those safeguards work! In-person voter fraud is virtually nonexistent in every election.

Since we don't have 100% turnout, our focus must remain on eliminating ballot box barriers for eligible voters, not creating new ones.
