It’s time to run down the week in Texas politics with James Barragán, political reporter for The Texas Tribune.
Among the topics that had folks talking: the high rate of rejection – over 12% – of mail-in ballots in the 2022 primaries, following passage of new Republican-led voting changes and restrictions.
“About one in eight people who tried to vote by mail had their mail ballot rejected,” Barragán said – a finding that Barragán says will primarily impact “elderly voters [and] people with disabilities who had difficulty getting into the polls.”
