Grieder: Latest GOP assault on voting rights isn’t fooling anybody By Erica Grieder
Looking back at the 2020 elections, Harris County leaders and voters have a lot to be proud of.
Faced with a pandemic that fundamentally altered day-to-day life and threw the nation into disarray, we stepped up to the plate in a big way. Local leaders innovated in response to health and safety concerns, tripling the number of early voting sites in the country, creating 24-hour voting locations and introducing drive-through voting for the first time in state history.
