Meanwhile in Texas, as we alluded to yesterday (though not very precisely, thanks to some readers who gave me a head’s up!) Governor Greg Abbott’s order to limit each county to just one ballot drop box was upheld by a federal panel of judges, meaning densely-packed counties like Harris have just one drop box for anyone who wants to return their ballot this way.
Drop boxes for absentee ballots were always kind of a niche convenience for a small number of voters. Now suddenly they’re a big topic of discussion. Just another way 2020 is unlike any other election.
