Texas’ top court denies a G.O.P. push to throw out over 120,000 votes; a federal case is pending

The Texas Supreme Court denied an effort by Republicans to throw out more than 120,000 votes that had already been cast at drive-through locations in Harris County, leaving Republicans’ only remaining option at the federal level.

The effort to get rid of the votes from largely Democratic Harris County now hinges on a nearly identical effort at the federal level, where a judge has called an election-eve hearing for Monday.

The lawsuit contends that the 10 drive-through voting sites in Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, are operating illegally and are arranged in locations that favor Democrats.

The plaintiffs, say that drive-through voting “is a violation of state and federal law”. They also say  that only the legislature had the authority to implement a drive-though voting
