More interesting are the county responses: Dallas County said it would follow the directive of the state and notify affected senders that they need to mail in a signature (without needing to resubmit entirely), even though they had already processed ~800 of the registrations as valid. Travis County (Austin) responded to the Secretary of State that no– these are valid registrations, and counted them as such. The bulk (>50%) of the registrations were in Austin, IIRC. Both of these counties are liberal strongholds in Texas. If Beto manages to win against Cruz by a margin of a couple thousand votes, I imagine the Cruz campaign will make this a much bigger issue than it is (and, imo, deservedly gain the title of trying to win by voter suppression). https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2018-elections/2018/10/04/travis-county-going-secretary-state-says-will-accept-voter-registrations-filed-using-online-tool https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2018-elections/2018/10/04/tr...
