Late Thursday night, Republican challenger Alexandra del Moral Mealer dropped a pending lawsuit challenging the November 2022 election results of her race against Democrat incumbent Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. Mealer took to X, formerly Twitter, and alleged that the county had “stonewalled” her efforts and restricted access to information...
Mealer added that from the documents and records she could review, she found “systematic and widespread violations of the Texas Election Code” during last year’s election.
However, Mealer later amended the lawsuit to include additional claims that thousands of ballots were not properly counted. One of Mealer’s now former attorneys, Elizabeth Alvarez, took issue with these allegations and filed a letter last month in court, stating she did not support Mealer’s new claims.
Last month, the first of these election contest lawsuits, brought forth by Republican candidate Erin Lunceford, went to trial. Lunceford lost to Democrat 189th District Judge Tamika Craft by 2,743 votes – one of the closer races contested.
