The Texas Supreme Court denied Harris County’s request to temporarily block the implementation of Senate Bill 1750 on Sept. 1, which will abolish the Harris County Election Administrator’s Office, the Harris County Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.
on Sept. 1, which will abolish the Harris County Election Administrator’s Office, the Harris County Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.
The county had asked for emergency relief from the Supreme Court. Officials said they made this request because if they were to refuse to get rid of the elections office, they are not sure how that would affect the November 2023 elections. The court also scheduled an oral argument on Nov. 28 over the state’s appeal regarding a Travis County judge that ruled in support of Harris County.“I am disappointed that the Texas Supreme Court is quietly allowing the legislature to illegally target Harris County, instead of considering the arguments and timely deciding whether Senate Bill 1750 violates the constitution. We first learned of today’s decision from media, instead of from the court itself,” said Harris County Attorney Christian D.
