The primary was the first election since the state's new voting law went into effect. Now, we're going through the hurdles voters and polling officials had to overcome.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Beth Stevens, the chief director of voting for the Harris County Elections Office said in a press conference that SB1 has impacted the process for mail-in ballot voting and subsequently, significantly increased staff time at polling locations.
"My common understanding is that they are asking people to add their social security number on the outside of the envelope," Ahmed said."This is a new procedure under this new bill and yes, there are a lot of seniors that don't feel comfortable doing it and he didn't feel comfortable doing it." "It was easier to come in and cast a ballot in-person than trying to correct the paper ballot," Ahmed said."And that paper ballot is also very difficult. Can you imagine how many seniors couldn't understand the instructions? Don't have anyone to drive them to vote? To either correct the ballot or vote in person? My dad is lucky to have me help him, but there is nobody like that, doing that for seniors. I worry about that.
