I must say that I'm a little surprised that a redo would be ordered on an election that took place eighteen months ago.

From the article:

Judge David Peeples ruled Wednesday that the 2022 race between Republican Tami Pierce and Democrat DaSean Jones for the 180th District Court in Harris County must be held again after finding “the true outcome [of the election] cannot be determined.”

Pierce contested the race after losing by just 449 votes to incumbent Jones. Jones, however, filed a motion to dismiss — which was later rebuked by Peebles as being “frivolous.”

Peeples ultimately found 1,430 invalid votes were cast, and declared it was “not realistic or feasible to determine which candidate received those votes.”

“The court has also found that a net margin of 321 votes (1146 to 825) were cast for Jones over Pierce in the extended one hour of voting on Election Day, which the court has found resulted from an official mistake by the Harris County Elections Administration Office,” Peeples wrote.

Pierce argued, in part, that 953 votes were cast by “out-of-county residents whose [Statement of Residence forms] show on their face a residence other than Harris County” and that 245 voters “submitted incomplete [Statements of Residence], which gave no information about their residence.” If a voter has changed residences but still lives in Harris County, he must submit a Statement of Residence testifying that he still meets the residency requirements for voting there.

The judge found both of Pierce’s arguments were true, though the totals he reached were slightly different. Peeples found there were 606 votes cast by voters whose Statement of Residence showed a location outside the county and an additional 146 ballots were counted from voters who listed their residence as being in a “nearby town or city without stating any county of residence.“

“The 752 votes resting on these [Statements of Residence] were not lawful and should not be counted,” Peeples wrote.

Additionally, “231 [Statement of Residence forms] were filled out by the voter so incompletely — with the spaces for former residence and current residence totally blank — that it was not lawful to approve them and they should not be counted.”

In total, the judge found that 983 votes were “cast by persons whose residence is outside Harris County” and therefore were “illegal votes” that never should have been counted.

In addition to the votes that should have been disqualified for residency issues, Peeples found another 445 votes were cast by voters who failed to meet a voter ID requirement. And dozens of mail-in ballots should have been rejected, Peeples concluded, for lacking the required signature and for not being returned on time.

Didn't you read your own post?

It takes time to do these things.

Okay. Does that mean that every decision to have come from that court with the fraudulent judge is thrown out?

No such thing as election fraud.
These days we call it “creative voting”.

Impossible, we've bee told over and over that illegals never vote because they fear prosecution and deportation. This can't possible be true...and if it is, it certainly can't happen in a larger context.

Good grief! Read the original post. It has nothing to do with illegals voting. The votes were rejected because the voters' address was outside of the boundaries of the district or their forms were not completed correctly. Again, nothing at all about illegals.

Voting integrity isn't there to begin with and so our system is reactive.

It has to be unless you fix the upfront part of making sure only citizens register and only those local residents vote.

You never find out about irregular voting until after the fact and then when someone contests the results.

Well, over 400 according to the article did not meet voter ID requirements, so that may have been illegals. Also, keep in mind, that illegals steal the identity of citizens, so they do have that "avenue" to vote. Also, I have always felt that the "dead" people voting were illegals using identities of the deceased, as it appears to happen in the more illegally populated areas of the country.
