(CNN) A federal judge set a hearing for Monday morning to hear a challenge to drive-thru voting in Harris County, Texas, the largest county in the state. Judge Andrew Hanen, who was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, set a hearing for 10:30 a.m., local time on Monday. A group of Republicans filed a petition Tuesday seeking the halt of drive-thru voting in Harris County, marking another attempt to dismantle drive-thru voting after the Texas Supreme Court ruled last week that it could proceed. The same group of plaintiffs also filed a new petition with the Texas Supreme Court that is awaiting a decision. Both petitions are seeking to block nearly 127,000 drive-thru ballots that were cast during early voting from being tabulated until the court issues an order.
