Texas Supreme Court rejects top Republicans' request to shorten early voting period
In its ruling, the state's top court said early voting can begin on Oct. 13, the date set by Republican Governor Greg Abbott in a July proclamation. Abbott said an extra week of early voting was needed because of complications posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Several top Republicans in Texas last month asked the state's highest court to knock down Abbott's proclamation and set the beginning of early voting as Oct. 19, the original date it was scheduled to begin. They argued the early voting violated the Texas constitution.
