Nah, typical Texas behavior, along with overregulation of voter drives and arresting anyone who tries too hard to do it. To deny voter IDs you typically shut down DMVs in areas you don't want getting too many of them.
> Why? Do you disagree that fraud is easier with mail-in ballots?
It certainly enables some kinds of it (like forcing your family members to vote a certain way) but also makes some kinds harder (putting the voting site in someone's house and intimidating anyone who drives up). It's very popular in most places it's been tried, and probably a good tradeoff anywhere with rural populations.
