Re: Why is the Texas Republican Party trying to stop drive-thru voting?

My spousal unit and I decided we'd drop off our ballots at the county collection site rather than lick stamps and go to the post office. Travis County on Airport Blvd in Austin was well organized. It took us about ten minutes, half of which was driving in, parking, and then driving back out. The poll workers were friendly and efficient. One came to me, one went to the passenger side to take my wife's ballot.
The only issue was that we had not sealed the envelopes for our ballots, wanting to make sure we did everything correctly. The workers were helpful, but the one who took my wife's ballot just told her to seal her outer envelope and that was all she needed to do. My wife asked "Don't I need to sign the envelope"? "No" said the worker, "your name's on the front".
Wrong! Luckily my wife knew she needed to sign the envelope and did so.
Moral: Trust but verify. Know what you need to do. Don't trust someone if their info doesn't match what you think needs to be done. I'm not saying the people collecting the ballots don't know what they're doing, but you just might get the new person who's not totally familiar with the process.
Take care, and vote!
