The Texas Supreme Court on Friday halted the expansion of mail-in voting in the state during the coronavirus pandemic.
The court issued the stay after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) asked the Lone Star State’s top court to take action in a letter earlier this week.
The state Supreme Court has set oral arguments in the case for Wednesday.
Democrats and voting rights advocates have pushed for mail-in voting to be expanded during the pandemic, while Paxton has repeatedly argued that large-scale mail-in voting will lead to rampant voter fraud and corruption.
“Among the State’s highest and most profound interests is protecting the integrity of its elections,” Paxton wrote Wednesday. “To advance that interest, the Texas Legislature requires almost every voter to vote by personal appearance at a designated polling place, where trained poll workers confirm the voter’s identity before issuing him a ballot.”
On Thursday, the 14th Court of Appeals of Texas upheld a previous ruling by a Texas state judge that deemed mail-in voting acceptable during the pandemic.
The Texas Supreme Court has not weighed in on the merits of the case, but its decision Friday means the initial ruling will be blocked until an appeal for that case moves forward.

The bastards are getting desperate. I’m thankful to be a Texan.
The Pelosi Plan is to flood voting with fraudulent mail in voting, don’t fall for it.
Voter fraud will expand exponentially.
It is now their only hope.
The “impeachment” failed and the Dem-panic is petering out.
izlamo delenda est …
Well this is interesting! Now will they call for an end to the dem-panic just so they can get more mail-in votes??
This could be a serious setback. Who is going to pay for all those ballots that have already been delivered to Beto O’Rourke’s supporters in Juarez?
Don’t mess with Texas!
Mail-in voter fraud exists. Look at any election in the last 20 years and find the reports that our military troops (God bless them, and thank you all) who voted while deployed and the votes not getting counted.
Oh wait, this is about not counting votes from stolen or illegitimate sources? Never mind.
Democrats are like the bullies in middle school who’d pretend to be your friends, invite you to a remote location, and then beat the shit out of you. The entire way to the beating, they knew they planned to fuck you over, and you knew they planned to fuck you over, but you went along with them because they were the “cool kids” and you hoped they really liked you for once.
Some kids never pulled their head out of their asses over this issue. They became Graham/Romney type republicans.
