Texas Gov.
Greg Abbott ordered multiple drop-off locations for mail-in ballots across closed.
CNN reports that the move has caused fears that President Donald Trump and Republicans want to suppress the vote in Texas.
On Thursday, Abbott limited drop-off points for mail-in ballots to one site per county.
The move seems likely to disproportionately affect minority voters in a troubling echo of racially motivated voter suppression tactics of the past.
Abbott argued that his declaration was vital to ensuring the security of the vote.
