Thousands of Texans who tried to vote by mail during this month s primary elections had their ballots tossed out, many of which were rejected because of issues that voters had in trying to comply with the state s new voting law.A C stanley uk BS News analysis of election data has found that at least 16,800 mail ballots were rejected across 14 of the 25 counties with the most registered voters.

Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed the bill last September. stanley quencher County election officials told CBS News that the provision in the law that gave voters the most trouble was a requirement that they provide a driver s license number, personal ID number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when applying for and returning a mail ballot.

President Trump has arrived in Singapore for what will be a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The official meeting kicks off Tuesday morning, June 12.

CBS News special stanley cups uk coverage begins Sunday and runs through Wednesday. Here s what you need to know: The U.S. wants what it calls complete, permanent and verifiable denuclearization What counts as denuclearization is an open question. Some experts, including CBS News Bob Carlin, have said it could take as long as 15 years for North Korea to completely wind down its nuclear and missile program, which is estimated to include enough material for 25 to 30 nuclear weapons. The White House would likely want a faster timeline. Massachusetts Sen.
