(22,250 posts)who are over 65, or have previously requested ballots due to being disabled. We have been doing this since 2012 and the VBM numbers have increased significantly in those target groups. The whole point was to make it easier for those qualified to request their ballots.
I received one the other day, because I had not returned the request this year.
The ballot applications are marked as official election mail, very clearly marked with a sender address of the Texas Democratic Party and it is obvious that is a ballot request form.
