I read the law that you linked, and with all the IANAL disclaimers, deputy registrar does not apply to Vote.org. Lawyers might have to fight it out, but the SOS position seems to have at least some merit -- whatever Vote will send to the counties is not exactly the original signature, as required. And with filling out the same form on SOS website and then signing/mailing it doesn't exactly take some critical amount of extra effort compared to filling out exact same information (and then sending your signature to... somebody) on Vote.org. I'm still not convinced that this is what voter suppression looks like. As for voting without ID I can't even begin to comprehend how verifying that a person voting is eligible to vote is "voter suppression". And with TX allowing you to use even an expired ID to vote, this seems to be more about TX voting "wrong" than anything substantial. Now, I think CA's "permanent absentee voter" (which is what I had there) is a convenient thing, and if anything voting should be done on a non-working day, but this is hardly something one state can be faulted for.
