The Texas Supreme Court denied a petition Sunday by a group of Republicans seeking to invalidate nearly 127,000 drive-thru votes in Harris County, while a similar case awaits a decision in federal court just two days before Election Day.
This is the second time in recent weeks the all-Republican Supreme Court in Texas has blocked attempts to dismantle drive-thru voting there. The court did not issue an opinion with the ruling.The petition was filed last week and argued that drive-thru voting violated federal law. The plaintiffs -- a Republican activist and three Republican candidates for elected office in Texas -- also filed a suit in federal court, which has an emergency hearing Monday morning in Houston.
Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins has staunchly defended the practice of drive-thru voting, calling it a legal and safe option amid the pandemic.

Trump bashing is not a policy. 🤷♂️ Biden would be nowhere Without the Covid gift he got from China. 😱😱😂😂😂 47 years of Do nothing is real proof of incompetence DONT BE FOOLED BY BIDEN😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
On what grounds?
It is unbelievable the behavior of the American people. Since when has there been ballot frued? People that have been voting for years with no problem believes this nonsense.First time in history that a president has people agreeing and acting like animals. Shame on you.
Just seen 300 legal battles have already been launched by the republicans, seems abit fucking dodgy that, fuck the peoples choice ey? How about we just stop votes all together and make it a dictatorship? Dems need the house and Senate so shit can actually get done
This verdict just confirms that the election workers know their stuff better than Republicans who has no decency or compassion to protect people from Covid.VoteBlueToEndTheNightmare
Another trump attempt
Praise The Lord!
Fuck the Republican party. They shot themselve with Trump Master of Fake.
TexasSupremeCourt Kudos! Some of US Supreme Courts are beginning to look like courts of Justice, while GO Putin Party is trying to win by fraud, chicanery, suppression of votes, Trump terrorist family even inciting their terrorists to ram into Biden Bus
CNN fake news
American Elections are Over Forever! No One Will Believe the Results No Matter Who Wins. Early Voting Ballots are wrong. It gives Gov Worker who are Dems Everywhere Time to destroy GOP Votes, Change the Ballots, or Increase Dem Votes as needed. This Has Destroyed Our Election Sys
How desperate are these ‘republicans’ who don’t want a republic at all as Trump wants to be a monarch with absolute rule. Narcissistic tendencies & with a cult following who wouldn’t listen to the truth no matter what.Very sad to see a once proud &world leading country fall apart
Never underestimate these criminals
It's not over yet. It's one of their many strategic plans to eventually move up through appeals to the already Republican stacked Supreme court.
Blantant corruption. Cheating in plain sight.
CNN Cheating and JOE will still lose big time.
Country before party 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
GOP trying to cheat? Great American way - lying, stealing n cheating are the ways to go.
Today's Democratic Party is the party of Censorship, Corruption, False Accusations, Fake Investigations, Intimidation, Cancel-Culture, Cheating, and Propaganda. — Americans Don't like Cheaters—
REGISTERED VOTERS NEED ONLY WATCH ONE VIDEO MUST SEE VIDEO
Vote with a side of fries? Mass vote processing...looks like only Dems are doing this “drive thru” voting. And then extend counting several days after election to see how many votes will need to magically appear.
The Republicans are trying to steal the election. Poor snowflakes are melting down.
Can someone relate to Don the Con that he is not stealing this election? Thanks so much!
Count all the votes
Kudos to the judges!
i want to see the claims and proof of why these votes should not be counted! obviously there is none if the TEXAS supreme court voted it down.....T E X A S Supreme court!
It's bad when our election is handled like a big Mac. People will be voting more than once, you watch. Using fake IDs and deceased people's names. Such a shame.
Tucker’s on yes Sunday night special!👍👍
One party doing its best to bring back honor and decency to a country , the other one doing its best to cheat and intimidate...and yet somehow people say they are undecided on who to vote. Stay classy America , thanks , the world.
That’s the right decision and good news
I voted drive thru. Very upsetting that it was challenged in court.
Treasonous. Should be arrested.
Hallelujah, there is still justice in the world.
Hallelujah...
Wtf
I guess the trump cult are now trying to invalidate the US citizens wanting to vote the creep trump out!
👏👏👏
Make republicans pay after the Democratic party wins the presidential election and turns the Senate
VOTE BLUE!!!
I find it disturbing that the new social trend is to list a person's or group's party affiliation and it's becoming more normalized. The divide is growing.
GOP are really jittery before November 3rd...what a desperation!
Errors far below the rights of Trump 2021!!
Polls Biden Harris Landslide! We got this woo hoo!!
Republicans with at least some semblance of dignity left must once & for all distance themselves from Trumplicans.!
Please share covidchildcare’s posts to help us get our communities’ healthcareheroes FREE CHILD CARE!
And on to the SCOTUS... No biggie....
Why hasn't CNN covered Trump's advisor saying his campaign plans to prematurely declare victory on election night and sue to stop all mail-in ballot counting after nov 3? They're telegraphing a coup and we're pretending it's normal.
Because it’s illegal and has never been allowed before
Why are they so set on not counting every vote.

Why are republicans so shady?
Thhe united states military and police along with all of its affilate nations suport and violently defend using electronic bio implants to torture and murder citizens, men, women and children to surrender them to enemy combatants. They provide minimal support to victims..y for
When you loudly complain about possible cheating, you are probably the cheater.
State control = corruption. Its what American politicians want. To subvert democracy for a win. Pathetic.
thank you very much for your work
the radical right_______ and the s.s.c.
They want to talk about rights. No one else has rights except for them. Never forget that
This is promising especially given that all members of this court are Republican. However, we are not out of the woods yet - a federal court still has to rule on this. Honestly this is getting old. Are these folks going to keep engaging in ELECTIONINTERFERENCE every cycle?
Hope.
so Trump claims victory Tuesday evening, the mail in and provisionals continue to pour in and he claims it's all rigged, when it gets to the SCOTUS they send it all back down to the house for a contingent vote, each state gets one vote, Trump wins
Why voting should be an issue in first place and why would anyone try and dispute, deny or void somebody’s vote?! Vote is fundamental right of each person in democratic country. Either democracy is not what’s used to be or USA is not democratic state.
Now vote BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica and (D) up/down ballot in droves. Pry trump and trumpist GOP from office across the land - just for fucking with us! Enough! End the madness!!
Now, vote (D) up/down ballot across the nation. Drive reprehensible trump/heinous trumpist GOP from office. End the madness. End their crimes against humanity. It didn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be this way. Never forgive/forget the visceral damage done!
Get rekt GOP

Thank god......
EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!
If this doesn't tell you all you need to know about Republicans in this election, than you're part of the problem.
Most welcome in the broadcast
The republicans don’t want a fair election. They just want to win. How sad for the US. They have lost all moral sense.
Lies ! Trump 2020
Why even ask for such a thing 🙁.

In the United States of America, Republicans are are trying to suppress American votes. Smh! This is a win for democracy!
Why don't they just disband their party
The republicans claim they love democracy but want to destroy it, fucking evil folks.
GOP’s blatant attempt to block voting surfaces yet again. They know they only make up 25% of registered voters. Their only hope is to make sure the masses can’t vote.
Thank goodness!!
Today in the state of Texas, republicans have shown the world that the US is worse than Russia and China, the countries that speak so badly. They showed that in the USA freedom does not exist!
the mafia does everything to cheat, all this shit comes from rudolph the red nosed Giuliani
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATS!!!! YOUVE SUCCESSFULLY SOLD OUT OUR COUNTRY!
Sore Losers, better get that tax check ready 🤣
New voting 'rules' are being made up on the fly and of course both sides will challenge rules that they feel will be detrimental to them. It's called the legal process and both sides do it - looks like it's working.
Why do Republicans hate democracy?
Something tells me you aren’t reporting the whole story
Good! Voter restriction is a huge problem in our country. There's no need for these extreme measures
A little bit of justice. Finally.
Dems are cheaters.
Welcome to this live broadcast
Good move from the Texas Supreme Court!! Maybe we do still have a Democracy!
Can a single Trump supporter explain why they would want this, not knowing who the votes are for? How could you support voter suppression that potentially includes majority votes for your side?
Desperate smh
Why do the republicans not want people to vote? Don't get it
I honestly don’t understand the GOP stand on this, like... what?
Good we got this in right place.
You need to teach people how to sign for dead people but with this ruling, it doesn't matter!!
CHINA JOE
Great news
Since 1776 you have nearly 250 years to get your election process right and you cant even do that. You're a laughing stock. Every other democracy runs their elections efficiently. Germany, UK, France all keep it simple. You lot in the US cant even conduct a General election
Take that Greg Abbott
The empire doesn't win today.
Drive thru voting? Did Texas do that in 16 also ?

The system is sick!
