A federal judge on Monday rejected a last-ditch effort by Republicans to invalidate more than 100,000 ballots cast at new drive-thru voting locations in Harris County, Texas, a ruling that the plaintiffs’ lawyer suggested could cripple President Donald Trump’s chances of re-election.
The judge, Andrew Hanen, said the plaintiffs in the case lack legal standing to challenge the use of 10 drive-thru voting locations set up for the first time this year in the Democratic-leaning county, which includes the city of Houston.
Hanen’s decision was based on the legal precept that a person filing a lawsuit must show that they were harmed by an action, not just that the action itself may have been illegal.
