Texas Supreme Court denies request to delay new election law despite lawsuit challenging it
- The Texas Supreme Court has denied Harris County's request to temporarily block a new law that abolishes the Harris County Elections Administrator's Office. The law, which takes effect on September 1, requires the county to return control of its elections to elected officials rather than an appointed administrator.
- The law was authored by Houston Senator Paul Bettencourt and was prompted by irregularities in the 2022 Harris County elections. Republican lawmakers accused county officials of mismanaging elections, while Democrats believe the law is an attempt to make it harder for minorities to vote.
