As early voting kicks off in Texas for US congressional seats, CNN's Dianne Gallagher speaks to voters who are seeing their mail-in ballot applications rejected as a result of the state's new laws. #CNN #News
‘How could this happen?’: Texas resident sees mail-in ballot application rejected
Republicans have their way , way to many times.
With you mom
That’s because so-called “moderate” Democrats are notoriously weak. They don’t fight back effectively. Been like this for 30 years.
Red wave
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 MAGA is dead, darling.
It’s rejected because of your race, simple…register as republican, get processed and approved promptly, and vote democrat…
Some people are doing that already
Because of race? I think not.
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 Well thank god she produced the accurate ss number and driver license. Her ballot was accepted after the third time. 🙂
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 Lowest IQ score of the day.
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 how is it fraudulent when it was eventually accepted
Texas law allows local electoral officials to deny ballots at their own discretion, with no requirement to notify voters or allow the chance to verify information. But if you ask Fox viewers they think it’s about voter ID.
“at their own discretion”
BlueAnon told you that?
Exactly!
@Z1BABOUINOS No the written law told me that when I chewed out my district for rejecting my ballot in 2020. 😢

Just cause Republican parents are loud and obnoxious doesn’t mean they represent the majority of parents. Your panelists have got it wrong again. Dems do need to come out to vote more and run for office cause the Republican crazies arem
Any data to back that claim about Republican parents being louder? Or was that a big jelly poo that waffled out of the clown 🤡 demmo mouth. I sense the latter.. Don’t go looting me for that now, I aint no shop… Democrats loot and jump up and down like screaming as per the meme.
It’s actually the druggie Democrats that have the loud mouths.
@Spring Is Coming 🇺🇸 I bet your meth pipe has a flag on it.
In the words of a great American, Frank Barone, Holy Crap!!!
To the voters in Texas vote out the people screwing you out of your vote.
Yeah don’t vote for the fascist Beto wanting to take your property
You would think but they won’t sorry. PEACE OUT 😎😜
HOW CAN I HELP!!! DONT VOTE REPUBLICAN!!! EVER!!!
WHY ARE DEMS TOO STUPID TO VOTE CORRECTLY?
How? Lol
It’s really frustrating that universal voting rules aren’t federally regulated. It’s simple…..we all have a social security number that can be used to verify voting eligibility, whether a person is dead, etc. but I guess it’s too much like right to keep things simple
Universal voting? Kind of like living in 1 state and voting in another? Kind of like how Californians were voting in Nevada but never did a change of address and were able to vote in both states. That universal voting rules?
@Da King83 federally regulated database is never the answer. That can lead to huge problems that YouTube will not allow me to say. Get an ID and show it at the polling booth. Simple! It’s not that hard to do!
@KELVIN MANLEY Really? That WWII veteran probably hasn’t had a driver’s license in over 10 years. And, not sure when licenses were actually started, but I doubt it was back in the 1940’s, when he registered to vote.
@Lynn Betts ?????
Simple produce identification.
Remember Texans, your governor decided making it a struggle for WWII vets to vote and banning abortions was a bigger priority than making sure your families have power for these harsh winters.
@Miss Kimberly I look at it for my amusement. It’s like a comedy channel for me. I can’t wait for the midterms to see how all of you will be in tears.
This Republican party is a useless party.
@Aaron Alegria If their was a so-called “god” she would not be blessing some Systemically Racist Xenophobic, Homophobic land mass.
WHY ARE DEMS TOO STUPID TO VOTE CORRECTLY?
@dnlprls I’ve seen what’s going on in Texas… Texans are getting gentrified out of their own state, by Californians. Texans are so poor, Californians just come in outbid them by $100k on housing. Now Texans are crying about all the Californians moving to the state who are exploding the cost of housing.
This is exactly what Republicans wanted. This is why they passed their new voting laws. They know if more vote, they’re going to vote for the other candidate.
@Kane Erickson if I can buy a firearm and ammunition from the comfort of my own home. I should be able to vote the same. The process isn’t perfect but it damn near is. You’ve been lied to but you go ahead and just keep eating up.
@Moses Cuadra how are they making it harder? don’t you want people who really care about doing it properly who are smart enough to figure out how to do it? As time moves forward I think we should make it harder and more exclusive so Americans are able to vote. Obviously, we should make it harder for people who aren’t American or want to cheat to vote. I know you think its a lie but it was a very heated polarized elections. Things were happening more than they ever had in regards to tampering and break ins, while at the same time new people were flooding across our border, so why would I just assume fraud wouldn’t also possibly play a part? I may not have proof but im very observant of whats going on around me. Like if the media says something to be true and it doesn’t translate into the actual things im observing in real life, im skeptical, especially if i make new observations that prove my point more. Like it was hard to believe trump was racist when his presidency was linked to thriving economy during the pandemic and low unemployment in minority communities. Its also wierd how he was trying to make us energy independent and get resources like oil from our own country w the pipeline (which also helped the working class) while the media was saying trump is giving our country over to russia. We are now finding out the trump/russia thing was fake and there was digital espionage from the democrat party to defame trump. yet no one cares bc theyre brainwashed. What I’ve noticed is that everything the democrat party is accused of, they double down, accuse the republican party, and will even give up integrity to slander someone and paint them completely differently to who they are. I wouldn’t trust a person who does that so why would I trust a whole party who does that?
so when they say there was no problems with the election, i can’t just be like “Okay sounds good, i didn’t see anything, and everyone wanted biden to win.” They fucked up and now theyre trying to do all these investigations on trump. Like its not like theyre going to find anything and when republicans prove their side, itll be so drawn out that people will be numb to the fact there was corruption with the election. It worked for Hillary spying on trump in the whitehouse when he was president. Nobody cares.
I dont understand your logic on that. Why would more people voting mean theyre gonna vote for someone else?
This needs to be big news everywhere! if not….it will not change and the Republican voter suppression will take over! We cannot let that happen! Make more noise about this!
Are you saying you actually believe this report? I hate to tell ya, but these people have ALWAYS had to provide proof of ID in order to vote in Texas. Don’t be so gullible
I know people who live in Texas, even if you have an ID they still ask for another identification to prove who you are . Not only state ID or Drivers license they want another identification card .
@Sandra Neri Correct.
Caution: oh, you’ve been warned.
Thousands of seniors are being disenfranchised from voting in the upcoming primaries, and here’s why:
Back when I got my driver’s license, your social security number Was your driver’s license number.
Hundreds of thousands of people over 65 are having their applications for mail-in ballots rejected because they are putting down their Current driver’s license numbers.
Given the choice to write their social security number on one line or write their driver’s license number on another line, maybe they wanted to go with the “safer” option, pulled out their driver’s license, and wrote down that number.
Maybe They Couldn’t Remember that 46 years ago, their Original DL number Was their Social Security number, and this would not match their “Original Voter Registration”.
And the entire application is rejected.
Certainly, presumably, there is no explanation of this on the new Forms.
Simple oversight?
Does anybody really believe this Guaranteed “Snafu” didn’t Occur to those in charge of Legislating these new “improvements” to voter identification regulations?
Of Course it did.
Furthermore, does anybody really Believe that it never occurred to these Lawmakers that Elderly People
*might not be Tenacious enough to
Repeatedly Submit hopefully corrected applications.
*might have no idea what they did wrong because nobody is widely Talking about it, remain confused and finally give up out of frustration and exhaustion.
*might very likely Miss the Deadline for successfully submitting a corrected application for their mail-in ballot.
WELL OF COURSE this was understood by the – oh, I’m going to say – Diabolical legislators drafting these new legal requirements.
Is this democracy at work for
“We the People”?
Is this helping
“The Will of the People”
be more fully Realized?
Are we any closer to achieving
“One Person, One Vote”??
Do these measures contribute to the pursuit of
“A More Perfect Union”?
Are we electing leaders of the Highest Integrity in the Land?
Are we even Paying Attention???
Or is it Already Too Late?
This is Impossibly Frustrating.
And unfortunately, Arkansas IS one of the states with newly implemented, overtly confusing & therefore Restrictive voter registration regulations.
We need to demand that Media – All Sources – take a breath and Saturate Viewers with Awareness, followed by Informative, Simple walkthroughs for these forms, we need Community Involvement, Boots on the Ground, NONPARTISAN town meetings with Tutorials, Huge Billboards Announcing These, and with all due respect to Separation of Church and State, for churches to participate in a Strictly Non-Partisan manner to provide parishioners assistance in these matters as well.
In other words, WE NEED TO ASSEMBLE ARMIES DEDICATED TO UNFETTERED OUTREACH, and p-p-please, I would Implore you to suggest exactly How, if there Are any eye-rolling haters still Standing among you, I could have Possibly Conveyed this End-Times Message in a more unfettered, emphatic & plain-speak fashion???
And what will be the Alternative if we fail to Reroute and ultimately Derail this Freight Train of Trickle-down Doublespeak and do it with Decidedly Unambiguous Extreme Prejudice??
Oh… disenfranchising massive swaths of the population through a concerted effort to systematically complicate and confuse what should be a simple, forthright process.
WELL, THIS NEEDED TO BE SAID, AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN! AND BY MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME!!
This is so shameful. Legislators have lost their minds. How in the world is this type of crap allowed to happen. What’s going to happen to our democracy? Scary is the nice word for what is happening. Thank you Supreme Court, Republicans, the 2 Democrats/Republicans. History will not forget you all.
@psycobleach46 tullis I’m aware that there are people that have to vote by mail, but those that can, should go to the polling places.
@psycobleach46 tullis So why isn’t updating the verification process a good thing for those same people & you who care about their vote counting & others counted fairly?
@Mark And to write one of three BS numbers and the wrong ones get denied if it isn’t the same one you originally used? If it is the same, why all these new BS laws?
@Bradyn Lotterman You mean like how Texas made ONE per county? There are a LOT more people in some counties vs others. I live in WA. and we ONLY do mail-in voting and it works great! Trump mails his in for the last few decades, why shouldn’t you? It’s safe! Just ask all the Trump cult TRAITORS that got busted for voting twice!
@Brett S. Trump cult traitors…lol. Trump lives in your head rent free.
To the voters in Texas, vote out those who are attempting to block other citizens from voting – whatever their politics, those officials should be kicked out. The new system truly does seem to be working as designed – regime change to oligarchy via bureaucracy.
Francis has no chance
Yeah…glad to see Texas is clamping down on “voter fraud” and not engaging in “voter suppression”….
I guess if fewer people vote, it is easier to spot the fraud?
Federal minimum standards are needed.
@Will Hartley I know both sides can be hypocritical but some offenses are worse than others. It’s true I’ve always been more centrist, I voted McCain vs Obama but Obama next term. I served under Clinton but he was a liar too. I could have cared less about his extra marital affair but hated he lied. I expect alot out of the people who get to decide my fate. They need to be atleast as upstanding as I am which is not saying much. They need to strive to be honest, transparent, and give up personal agendas.
@David C honestly though there was alot of oil grabbing and no weapons of mass destruction Hussain needed to go. I didn’t support that war though I did support Afghanistan and the first Iraq action. I don’t know if McCain had knowledge to show that the WMD accusations were false but what I do know is he put his life on the line to save others and if anyone knows the cost of war it was him as a POW.

@shelley martin oh good lord talk about being dramatic. The issue will be fixed and if it’s not they can go vote in person. Polling places make accommodations for elderly and disabled. Calm down Karen
WHY ARE DEMS TOO STUPID TO VOTE CORRECTLY?
In Iowa, our Governor jumped on tfg bandwagon, and pushed thru laws on suppressing the voters’ rights. We need legitimate volunteers to help everyone dealing with this!
What happened to Hillary’s Russia lie?
YOU MEAN TO HELP DEMOTARDS RIG THE ELECTION?
Republicans wanted this, which is why they passed their new voting laws: they know that if more people vote, they will vote for the other candidate.
@jr goxy No not a genius, dear. I’m just not an eff ing mor on (words split on purpose to avoid censure of the comment).
@Mark There is a big difference between expecting people to prove ID and expecting that ID to be the same ID produced decades earlier. Plain obstruction.
@The Best Joe biden’s rallies were 60 to 100 people Donald Trump’s rallies were in the thousands you honestly can’t think Joe Biden won the election that’s ridiculous
@Chadillac not stupid programmed the programming has been going on for many many years I see all this clearly the beast has been making immorality seem normal and it literally started with stupid words like to go where no man has gone before they couldn’t let that be it had to be where no one has gone before all inclusive which is crap we weren’t meant to be numbered the same or do things equally that’s not sanity women can have babies men cannot so many things that make us all different but all of us together with love and compassion but the beast has taken that away and now we’re fighting and hating each other and arguing I see all this clearly the movies and shows have been making fornication normal gay marriage normal think about this and I’m not saying anything judgmental I’m just saying a homosexual relationship cannot produce life so that relationship is purely about sex we have gone pretty far down the rabbit hole we’re going to go further I feel
@Rene Hinojosa How so?
A family member with a PHD in Education use to say this to me all the time. Once you learn the rules, and begin competing in the game, they would rather cheat & change the rules than let you win!
What happened to Hillary’s Russia lie?
Difficult to believe that this is actually happening in the US …. sad really .
Zoe , Ca
Besides the whole point of a democracy is to have a large turnout as much as possible. With this your only making it a few.
There needs to be a class action lawsuit by people denied their right to vote after voting for over 40 years!!
The fact they are excluding WWII veterans who actually fought to ensure we weren’t invaded by authoritarian governments makes me so angry. It’s so incredibly disrespectful of their sacrifices. Shame.
