Texas Republicans' last-minute challenge to drive-thru voting in Harris County dismissed by appeals court
The court filing from just before early voting began was the latest GOP effort to tamp down voting options in the state's most populous county.
The appellate judges said the party and a voter who filed the suit did so too late, and did not show how they specifically might be injured by the voting practices. The lawsuit was filed just hours before early voting polls opened and more than a month after the Harris County Clerk announced his plan for drive-thru voting.
"The election is currently in progress and the relators delayed filing this mandamus until over a month after learning of the actions of the Harris County Clerk’s Office," the panel of three judges on Texas' 14th Court of Appeals wrote in their ruling dismissing the case.
