Texas voter registrations left unprocessed after DPS error
Original: Unknown number of Texas voter registrations went unprocessed due to DPS error
An unknown number of voter registration applications in Texas went unprocessed because of an error by the Department of Public Safety. The issue means some applicants may have believed they were registered to vote when their paperwork was never completed, raising concerns ahead of upcoming elections. Officials are working to determine how many people were affected, and voting rights advocates are calling for fixes so eligible voters are not turned away at the polls.
Why now: People are worried that eligible voters could be disenfranchised in upcoming elections due to an administrative failure.
