e: also I'm trying to follow the Harris County drive-in vote hearing on Twitter but it's very confused because apparently the press can only listen in over a phone being held up against a speaker. People in my timeline seem to think the judge is leaning against tossing out existing votes, but towards shutting down any drive-in locations during tomorrow's voting.

Of course it couldn't be the guy with a DUI on his record and who has already been implicated in at least one other vehicular assault participating in what is already an aggressive act. That just wouldn't make any sense.

if they appeal on the standing issue, the fifth circuit can uphold/affirm they dont have standing, at which point they can petition SCOTUS. Or they can reverse and remand saying they have standing and then send it back to the district court for a determination of the merits

the fifth could rule on the merits i suppose, but it's pretty unlikely they would. the republicans could also ask for a writ of mandamus from the fifth instructing the district court to act a certain way but its a high burden

Standing in most cases means that they need to show that the problem they are claiming to exist actually affects them in a meaningful way. IE they had to show how these drive thru votes directly affected them in an illegal manner. Apparently, they were not able to do that.

I'm very curious to hear Hanen's reasoning for lack of standing, given that two of the plaintiffs are on the ballot in Harris County.

Also, for drive-through going forward:

quote:

The judge said that if he had found that the plaintiffs, who include three Republican candidates for office, had legal standing, he probably would have barred drive-thru voting locations on Election Day itself, but would not have invalidated the ballots already cast at those locations.

“I do not find a tent to be building,” said Hanen, noting that tents are being used for the drive-thru locations, while the state law mandates that polling places be in a building.

I think he's just punting. The plaintiffs could appeal to circuit and try to get it remanded with their standing established, but that will take time. And by giving that unofficial ruling on the merits, he may be signaling the plaintiffs that it's not worth their time to do that.

Now that's it's over and I don't have to be superstitious about it: let's be clear about this suit - it was not brought by RPT or any county Republican party. I'm sure everyone of them would've loved to see those votes get tossed but not a one said anything in support. This was Steve Hotze, whomst tweets you saw earlier, one crackpot state Rep and a couple of Harris Co. lawyers. The tenor of the coverage did not match the seriousness of the challenge, something to keep in mind when we see breathless tweets about alarming things from national mag reporters. There was no loving way a federal judge was going to toss more than 100k votes already lawfully cast - especially after two challenges were dismissed by the state supreme court.
