Judge blocks order limiting Texas ballot drop-off locations A federal judge has blocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's order dramatically reducing places where voters could drop off mail ballots during early voting in the November electionsAUSTIN, Texas -- A federal judge in Texas on Friday halted Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s order that shuttered dozens of mail ballot drop-off sites weeks before November’s election, authorizing only one for every county no matter the size. To qualify for a mail-in ballot in Texas, voters generally must be 65 years older, out of their county on Election Day or disabled. On Wednesday, the Texas Supreme Court also ruled that Houston elections officials could not send unsolicited mail ballot applications to 2 million registered voters.
