WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Friday that Texas need not treat all voters the same when deciding whether to allow mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic.
The
court refused to block a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
5th Circuit, which had ruled that all voters do not have to be allowed
to vote by mail. Texas gives that option only to voters age 65 and
older.
The state's Democratic Party challenged
that policy, warning that younger voters would "be forced to either risk
contracting COVID-19 during in-person voting or relinquish their right
to vote at all."
