Bell Cty, population 380k, with 42 poll locations, votes strongly Republican.
Harris Cty - which includes Houston is strongly Democrat, pop. 4.7million with 800+ poll locations.
TX law provides a 12 hour voting time, 7am to 7 pm.

BUT Bell Cty with their mostly republican ballots, wasn’t disputed by Paxton. Votes cast up to 8pm were COUNTED.
Classic voter suppression by the Texas GQP.
