Mask required to vote?
I repeat
Masks are not mandated to vote in texas
One of the 11 exemptions in Gov. Gregg Abbott’s statewide face-covering mandate excludes Texas voters from having to wear a mask when at the polls.
The executive order says the mask requirement doesn’t apply to “any person who is voting, assisting a voter, serving as a poll watcher, or actively administering an election.”
However, the use of a face-covering over the nose and mouth is strongly encouraged.
Early July, Abbott said he wouldn’t want to “deny somebody the ability to go vote simply because they don’t have a mask,” according to a report by The Texas Tribune.

Now I do have to say Abbott was idiotic to mandate only one polling station per county
In areas of more density It draws some criticism

Voted this morning. Signs read “masks are RECOMMENDED”! I never wear a mask (except work) but I wore one to vote because of the old people in line. I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable. I’d love if they were voting for Trump but I’m a staunch constitutionalist and I don’t want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to vote, regardless.
When they checked my ID, there was no way they could tell if it was me or not on the ID due to the mask. There will be TONS of BS happening in this election due to ID fraud!!!!
They made me use a q-tip to push the buttons but let me sign my signature with the same pen as everybody else. More nonsense!

I don't remember if they were required or not. I wore one as a courtesy to everyone else who was there because it doesn't bother me that much to put in on for a few minutes.
I also hold the door for people and say please and thank you.
No line-- walked in, put on a finger cot, did my duty and was out in 5 minutes.

Do you wear a mask around old people who think wearing a mask is stupid? Or just those old people who are afraid of the buggy man?

I wasn’t going to ask every old person in line if they wanted me to wear it or not, I assumed it made them feel more comfortable. For VOTING, and voting alone, I was willing to wear a mask for them.
