AUSTIN, Texas - Identification requirements for mail-in ballots that became Texas law in 2021 can be enforced after a court ruling issued Wednesday.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that the parties that filed suit lacked standing and reversed a lower court's injunction that halted enforcement of parts of the law.

The backstory: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed the Election Protection and Integrity Act, known at the time as Senate Bill 1, into law nearly five years ago.
