Texas Legislature forces Harris County to change its ways

With a full Texas legislative session in the books, multiple measures have made their way to the Governor's desk which will have a direct impact on how we do things in Harris County moving forward. House Bill 2127 may well place severe limitations on how far Judge Lina Hidalgo and Democrats on Commissioners Court can deviate from standards established by the state. As for the "democratic process", Harris County's experiment with an appointed election administrator is officially "toast". The post abolished in Austin after gross mismanagement of back-to-back major elections.
