This lawsuit is bogus. No voter was denied the right to vote.

-- Both sides rested on Thursday afternoon in a trial that will decide whether to throw out election results from Harris County's 2022 November election.

The judge said he would not have a ruling for at least another month. It's an unprecedented legal effort, and it's the first of several lawsuits just like it......

Democrats have said there's no proof those problems impacted the election.

This case also has a narrower margin than any of the other contested elections, so its verdict could play a big role in whether others go forward.

"Really, at the end of the day, the main goal for Republicans here is to win the court of public opinion, not in the court of law," Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University, said. "They know they're going to lose these cases in the court of law, but if they can maintain at least among Republican primary voters and others the narrative that there was something that went wrong in the 2022 elections and that potentially cost Republicans electoral contest, it'll be a winning gambit for them."
