Federal Judge Dismisses Effort To Throw Out Drive-Through Votes In Houston
A similar challenge had been dismissed by the Texas Supreme Court Sunday. All of that court's were appointed by Republicans.
One of the intervenors in the hearing, ACLU lawyer Andre Segura, argued that a ruling allowing the ballots to be thrown out would cause people to have to vote a second time.
"Once the egg has been scrambled it doesn't make sense to put it back in the egg," Segura said, adding: "We're talking about a very large scramble."
Other attorneys said some of the affected voters were receiving medical treatment and would be unable to get to the polls on Election Day.
The Texas case is one of a number of legal challenges to voting and ballot counting, many of them brought by Republicans.
