Texas election officials are reporting hundreds of mail-in ballots are being rejected because voters aren't filling them out properly. A new state law requires absentee voters to include a state ID number like a driver's license number, or a partial Social Security number, both when they request a mail-in ballot and when they return a completed ballot. The numbers must match ID info in a voter's record for the ballot requests to be accepted and votes to be counted. Hundreds of mail-in voters are including the wrong numbers, or none at all.
