    Richard Mithoff, the lawyer for Harris County, tells the court that drive-through voting is monitored the same way as other voting methods. He's also pointing out that drive-through voting got bipartisan approval from county commissioners. #texas #election2020 #houston

    Hanen asking plaintiffs' attorneys: "Didn't we test this in the primaries this summer?" Drive-through voting has "been going on for two weeks," Hanen said. "Why am I just getting this case?" #texas #election2020 #houston

    Hanen says plaintiffs have an uphill road and need to convince him that Harris County had an "evil motive" in allowing drive-through voting for Texas voters #texas #election2020 #houston

    “We know that we cast our votes legally,” said Hannah Smith, who said she cast her ballot via drive-through on Oct. 24 for Biden and Republican candidates down the ballot. “There’s no doubt in my mind what should be done, which is to count our votes.”

    Attorneys are arguing whether a car is a "structure" for the purposes of a voting place. Texas election code apparently doesn't define what a "structure" is. #texas #election2020 #houston

    The ACLU's lawyer is advising Hanen not to issue an order that would effectively ask drive-through voters to vote again: "Once the egg has been scrambled it doesn’t make sense to put it back in the egg. We’re talking about a very large scramble." #texas #election2020 #houston
