Texas Senate approves bill giving officials power to overturn Harris County elections.

The Texas Senate has passed a bill that would allow the secretary of state to redo elections in Harris County, which has been dogged by GOP claims of election mismanagement. The bill would apply only to counties with populations greater than 2.7 million, effectively singling out Harris County, which is home to Houston and has by far the largest population in the state, at nearly 5 million. If enacted, it would allow the secretary of state to toss out election results in the state's largest county and call a new vote if there is "good cause" to believe that at least 2% of polling places ran out of usable ballots during voting hours.
