Attorneys rest their case in Harris County election trial to throw out November results

[LetMyPeopleVote]

This is a bogus lawsuit. I was working voter protection in a neighboring county that also used county wide voting. We had a coupld of precincts that were understaffed due to COVID and we had voters go to a nearby voing center. This case is really bogus

After seven days of questioning witnesses, attorneys will make closing arguments Thursday morning in the trial to throw out Harris County's November election results in a contested judicial race with a 2,743-vote margin.

GOP candidate Erin Lunceford lost her race in November to incumbent 189th District Judge Tamika Craft. Lunceford filed a lawsuit one month later, asking a judge to order a new election based on the argument that ballot paper shortages at some polls on Election Day resulted in thousands of her supporters being denied the opportunity to cast a ballot.

Harris County has countywide voting, so voters could cast their ballot at any of 782 polling locations that day.

Lunceford's attorneys allege 29 of those polls ran out of paper. During the trial, no voters came forward to testify that they were unable to cast a ballot.

Another 20 GOP candidates have pending legal challenges similar to Lunceford's; their fate could depend on whether her team is successful in persuading Judge David Peeples, a visiting judge from Bexar County, to throw out her election.
