Texas has achieved a historic milestone with 19 million registered voters ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. However, this achievement comes on the heels of significant challenges, including a backlog of nearly 600,000 voter registrations due to a state software glitch. Voting rights groups have taken legal action against Texas for failing to process over 500,000 registrations in a timely manner. Fortunately, state officials have announced that the backlog has been cleared just in time for early voting, alleviating concerns about access to voting amid these issues. Despite this progress, new backlogs have emerged related to voter address updates, raising ongoing concerns among advocacy groups regarding the state’s voter registration processes.
