A state judge is putting a temporary hold on a plan to use the coronavirus shutdown to promote vote by mail. Yesterday, KRGV reported the move comes after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton requested last week that the Texas Supreme Court halt the vote by mail actions in Cameron and four other counties. The court has responded by putting on hold the project which involves allowing a person to request a mail in ballot on the claim of disability due to the coronavirus making it difficult or impossible to reach a polling place.
