Austin, Texas – In response to the Harris County Commissioners Court 3 to 2 vote approving the pursuit of this obviously frivolous lawsuit against the State of Texas, Senator Bettencourt issued the following statement:

“The democrat majority on the Harris County Commissioner's Court has authorized their most ‘frivolous’ election lawsuit yet on a partisan 3 to 2 vote. This time along with County Attorney Menefee, they are disputing the ‘randomness’ of an audit selection by the Texas Secretary of State as they were one of two large counties out of 18 selected per an Amendment to SB 1. Really!? More like a frivolous squared waste of taxpayer monies this time.”
