And here I thought voter fraud was the biggest electoral problem we face....

This is why Travis County (and possibly Williamson County, from the looks of things) needs a new county tax assessor-collector.

Thanks to the implementation of a new system, as many as 8500 voters were dropped off the Travis County rolls. Most really had left the county, but many Travis county residents could go to the polls on March 4 and find that they are not allowed to vote.

What's more, the provisional ballots that they could in theory cast in this situation may not even be totally legal!

Primary voters who find their registration has been canceled could still cast
"provisional ballots," which election officials decide whether to count in the
days after an election. But Travis officials say such ballots might not be
admissible under state law, an opinion that varies between counties.

The article cites Travis and Williamson counties specfically, but Harris County's Paul Bettencourt weighed in as well, as did Bexar County.

Might be worth reregistering to vote for the March 4 primary if you live in these counties, or checking with your county's voter registrar to make sure you'll be able to vote. For a list of who you need to contact, check out the Sec. of State's website here.
