Considering that most everyone is voting for Trump, I'm not sure why the Republicans are behind this.
To me as long as ID's are checked, just like inside and the real voting machine is used just like inside, I don't have any objection.

Re: Why is the Texas Republican Party trying to stop drive-thru voting?
Neighbor said polling location at HCC near Home Depot on 610 in Bellaire in Houston was empty no lines.
The better half is out of town caring for an old friend. So I sent her, the application for a ballot about a month and a half ago. She immediately sent it in. Got it about a week ago. 2 day Priority Mailed it two her, post office took 5 days to get it to her.
Wow the absentee ballot was something to see. Probably in total 11 pages of stuff. Two envelopes one green one purple. Fine print everywhere. Repeat fine print everywhere, on the envelopes, everywhere.
Probably do one thing wrong and the ballot isn't counted. Most of the fine print had to do with special circumstances, so if you were just an ordinary Joe, it made it much more complex than it actually was.
Mark the box with an "x" for the person you want. Told you, you didn't have to vote for every one and told you not to vote for both people. Information on how to write in a candidate, and who the registered write in candidates were, a bunch of people running for President.
Stick the ballot in the green envelope, seal it.
Stick the green envelope in the purple envelope and seal it. Then sign you name where it says sign your name.
Then put a stamp on it and put it in a post office box, or hand deliver to County County Clerk. (there are two County Clerk and County County Clerk)
That was it.
But it took a lot of reading to figure that was all there was to it.
Two letters from politicians thanking you for voting etc. etc. County County Clerk and Secretary of State, but you had to read them to make sure there were no gotcha's.
Big thing and all the fine print was for was someone "helping you with your ballot". They had to disclose they were helping, who they were, what the relationship was, had to print and sign their name plus provide a witness who had to print and sign their name. If person couldn't sign their name, then to put an "x", then person who was helping had to provide more information. Do we still have people who can't write their names?
So you have to take it and put it in the mailbox your self. If someone takes it to the mailbox for you, lots more paperwork. Witnesses etc.
I suppose it is all because of fraud.
But all in all, if your a regular Joe, or Josephine, its no big deal. and seems pretty secure as long as the mail doesn't take forever, or they purposely lose it.
Vote.
