Voters have until October 5 to update their registrations and can check their status on the Texas secretary of state’s website, at a county election office, or by mail. But with a number as high as 1.2 million people, the message may not reach many voters in time—especially if they haven’t moved and it’s the fault of a clerical error.



Operation Eagle Eye 1964: a suppression operation aimed at restricting minority voters through ‘voter caging’. This was enacted by thousands of volunteers mostly at inner city ballots where they tested the literacy of voters as they turned up (literacy being a requirement, though not normally aggressively tested).
Lyndon B. Johnson still won though.
