The San Antonio Spurs billed local elections officials more than $250,000 for using the county-owned AT&T Center as a voting site during the November election, documents show.
Reaction to the ruling
Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said while this is a win for democracy, he firmly offered that this should have never gotten to this point: The ruling to let the nearly 127,000 drive-thru votes stand was the correct decision but it doesn t change a simple fact: This should have never been an issue in the first place. Texans who lawfully voted at drive through locations should have never had to fear that their votes wouldn t be counted and their voices wouldn t be heard. This lawsuit was shameful and it should have never seen the light of day. Once again, Texas Republicans sought to threaten Texans right to vote and they lost, but this election is not over. We must send them a message and vote them out. The future of our state is entirely in our hands now. The only thing that matters now is voting. Texas Democrats, we must create the wave necessary to win back our state and our country. If we vote, we will win this election. Get your friends,
