Texas Senate has passed a proposal allowing the state to re-run elections in Harris County, home to the state’s most populous city, Houston.
The legislation was the result of Harris County officials running out of ballot paper at several voting sites in the deeply problematic 2022 election.
The measure would give the Texas secretary of state the authority to hold a new election in the county if it runs out of paper at 2% or more of its polling sites for more than an hour.
