Federal Appeals Court Backs Texas Mail-In Voter ID Law

Texas can require people applying to vote by mail to submit identification numbers that match state records, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the state in a legal battle brought by the Biden administration and several voting rights groups, Bloomberg News reported.

A three-judge panel found the ID match system is a valid way to prevent fraud and confirmed that it does not violate the Civil Rights Act. The court said the law is “obviously designed to confirm that every mail-in voter is indeed who he claims he is.”

Judge James Ho wrote the opinion, reversing a lower court decision from November 2023 that had struck down the number match requirement.
