re: Supreme Court Denies Bid To Expand No-Excuse Mail-In Ballots In Texas

"No excuse" mail-in voting is bad policy, regardless of age, IMO. A healthy 68 year-old can get to the polls as easily as a 28 year-old, and an oldster who cannot get there has a built-in "excuse" for mail-in.
With the exception in place, I honestly, don't know how much this law really accomplishes, because it seems to me that the elderly are probably a BIG percentage of those whose identities are being "borrowed" for whatever "harvest then mail" abuses are occurring.
At the same time, I don't see that it really does any harm, either. Like 90% of legislation at any level, it does an EXCELLENT job of making it LOOK like the legislature is "doing something."
