Texas Judge Rules Against GOP Petition To Throw Out Drive-Thru Votes

A federal court hearing was held to address a Republican effort to discard nearly 127,000 drive-through votes in Texas. Republicans claimed the voting method lacked legal permission, while Democrats argued it would cause confusion close to the election. Judge Andrew Hannon dismissed the challenge, citing no harm to the GOP and questioning the timing of the lawsuit. Drive-through voting was introduced in Harris County as a pandemic safety measure. The Texas Democratic Party criticized the lawsuit, emphasizing voters' rights. Nationwide, over 95 million people have voted, with early voting ongoing in many states.
