The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court ruling blocking parts of a Texas law that restricted mail-in voting. The law was challenged under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fifth Circuit overturned the lower court, saying Texas has the authority to restrict such voting.

This bodes well for President Trump's efforts to block fraud via mail-in ballots by requiring the Postal Service to do the work Congress Just Won't Do. The USPS will be required to confirm the eligibility of voters before delivering the ballots to be counted.

A judge blocked the Trump Administration from requiring that. Trump is appealing the ruling and it likely will go to the Supreme Court.

No doubt the Administration lawyers will point to this ruling from the Fifth Circuit in arguing their appeal.

The Carter Baker commission, which was created with former President Jimmy Carter and former Senator Jim Baker to look into securing the vote after the election of 2000 warned that mail-in voting was ripe for fraud and recommended against it. Naturally the Democrats used the Carter Baker report on what NOT to do as a blueprint for running elections.

Covid really got this going. Before Covid there were absentee ballots which were restricted, but during Covid they hatched up the mail-in scheme and it should come as no surprise Joe Biden won the Presidency with more votes than anyone in history - ove 81 million - when he didn't even campaign or show his face. Millions of mail in votes were the key to his victory.

And the Democrats refused to end mail-in voting after the pandemic ended. That was the plan all along.

It's time to relegate mail-in voting to the same place that literacy tests for voting or other practices designed to disenfranchise people have gone. MIV is nothing but a way to disenfranchise legitimate voers.
