The first of 20 lawsuits over the 2022 election in Harris County is winding down.
Presiding Judge David Peeples will hear closing arguments from the defense and prosecution Thursday morning.After concluding a week’s worth of hearing testimony from both sides in a case attempting to overturn a county judicial race’s election result, attorneys will have one last ditch effort to support their claims while making closing arguments on Thursday morning at the Harris County Civil Courthouse.
Andy Taylor, Lunceford’s lead attorney, also brought up approximately 2,000 ballots that he argued should be discounted as they were cast after a judge wrongfully ordered polling locations to remain open for an additional hour on election night. Lunceford’s team presented Steve Carlin, a business and technology consultant, as another key witness as he assisted with the search for ballots missing signatures, dates, addresses or other legally required information.
Before shifting to the trial's defense phase, Craft’s attorneys attempted to dismiss the case altogether. Judge David Peeples, the presiding judge visiting from San Antonio, denied the motion.
