The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ruled yesterday that portions of Texas Senate Bill 1, adopted in September 2021, violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The court found that parts of S.B. 1 require officials to reject mail-in ballot applications and mail-in ballots based on errors or omissions that are not material in determining whether voters are qualified under Texas law to vote or cast a mail ballot.
What happens when Texas throws out the ballots anyway? You gonna force them to redo an entire election and take out the illegitimate politicians? Or is some director of some government office gonna get sued for a big fine and thats it? It remains to be seen if modern day US politics is even calable of removing someone once they’re elected, so how do you even enforce this?
Probably ideally if they refuse is the national guard goes in and ensures a free and fair election, and people preventing it get arrested. Will that actually happen though? Idk.
