HOUSTON 鈥� A federal court has blocked efforts to invalidate nearly 127,000 early votes cast via drive-thru voting in Harris County, Texas, the state鈥檚 largest county and the third largest county in the country.

The 老澳门开奖结果 and 老澳门开奖结果 of Texas moved to intervene in the case last night and had the following reaction to U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen鈥檚 bench decision today:

鈥淭his ruling is a huge victory for Texas voters,鈥� said Sophia Lin Lakin, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project. 鈥淭he court was right to reject this outrageous attempt to undermine a true and accurate vote count and improperly influence the outcome of the election.鈥�

鈥淭his is what democracy looks like. This is the third attempt by these individuals to throw out votes legally cast, and once again they鈥檝e been denied. Our justice system did its duty today to ensure voting rights are protected and our democracy remains intact,鈥� said Andre Segura, legal director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Texas.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 decision was absolutely necessary to reestablish some confidence in the preservation of our voting rights. This is a win for Texas voters and a win for democracy!鈥� said Grace Chimene, president of the League of Women Voters of Texas. 鈥淓very Harris County voter who cast their ballot at a drive-thru polling site can rest assured that their votes are valid and will be counted. Today, the court protected our country鈥檚 commitment to 鈥榦ne person, one vote.鈥� We are encouraged by the incredible early voter turnout in Texas, and today鈥檚 decision ensures that more than 120,000 Harris County voters will be included in that number.鈥�

The 老澳门开奖结果 intervened on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Texas and several individuals who voted using the drive-thru option.
