A federal appeals court upheld on Monday a Texas law that requires voters to provide proof of identification when voting with mail-in ballots.

A three-judge panel reversed a lower district court’s ruling, deciding that the Texas state law did not violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is crucial to confirm voter eligibility, as required under law.

“Mail-in ballots are not secure,” Judge James Ho wrote in the unanimous opinion.

The ruling included findings that “mail-in ballot fraud is a significant threat.”

“The ID number requirement is obviously designed to confirm that each mail-in ballot voter is precisely who he claims he is. And that is plainly ‘material’ to ‘determining whether such individual is qualified under State law to vote,’” Ho continued.
