Judge Hanen has already scheduled an emergency hearing for Monday morning—without even giving Harris County a chance to file a response brief. This, too, is extremely concerning. It looks like he may be rushing to throw out 100,000 disproportionately Democratic votes.

Texas Republicans are deploying the theory—recently endorsed by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh—that only state legislatures have authority over elections. Because the Harris County Clerk implemented drive-through voting, Republicans say all 100,000 ballots must be tossed.

Two partisan federal judges are already trying to nullify thousands of Minnesota ballots under this radical theory. I am deeply concerned that Judge Hanen, too, will use it to disenfranchise 100,000 Texans on the eve of Election Day. This is frightening.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/minnesota-judges-barrett-absentee-ballots.html …

Republicans are racing to federal court because they have lost in state courts (so far). The Texas Supreme Court, which is entirely Republican, refused to halt curbside voting in October when the GOP claimed it was illegal.https://www.courthousenews.com/texas-supreme-court-refuses-to-shut-down-drive-thru-voting/ …

I want to clarify one point: While I said "curbside voting" in this thread, the better term is "drive-through voting." Though most of us may use these terms interchangeably, they're different procedures in Texas, and Republicans are specifically going after drive-through voting.

Republicans have asked one of the nation's most partisan federal judges to throw out more than 117,000 ballots that were *legally cast* in Texas. This is a five-alarm fire. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/texas-drive-through-voting-throw-out-ballots.html …

Wow: One of the Republicans asking a federal judge to throw out more than 117,000 valid ballots in Harris County is a COVID and QAnon conspiracy theorist. Great reporting from

Steve Hotze would sue his mother if it would stop a Democrat from voting

How can you throw out votes that were cast according to the rules of that jurisdiction? Those voters would be disenfranchised through no fault of their own.

Happened in Alabama. Supreme Court changed the rules AFTER ballots had been sent in according to previous rules. Surprisingly, this happened in a city with a huge minority population.
