Texas Supreme Court Weighing Whether To Throw Out More Than 100,000 Drive-Thru Votes
Nicholas Reimann
Topline
A lawsuit filed by a Republican legislator in Texas and three other members of the GOP is asking the court to invalidate more than 117,000 drive-thru votes that have been cast in Harris County, a challenge the Supreme Court of Texas has asked the county to file a response to, indicating that at least one justice on the court seems to be seriously considering the challenge.
Key Facts
The plaintiffs argue that Harris County’s expansion of drive-thru voting sites amounts to an illegal expansion of curbside voting.
Harris County has until 4 p.m. Central time Friday to file a response.
The court rejected two similar GOP efforts last week aimed at shutting down drive-thru voting, but this new effort asks that memory cards be pulled from voting machines and have all ballots voided.
Only one justice needs to officially put in a request for a response, but it’s not clear how many of the nine justices (all Republican) have asked for the response.
