Texas is about to shut down an election office in a heavily Democratic county that includes Houston less than two months before the city's mayoral election

• Harris County, which includes Houston, must close its election administration office by Friday.
• The closure comes less than two months before Houston holds its mayoral election.
• Losing Republican candidates blamed the Harris County election office for their losses in 2022.

In less than two months, Houston residents will begin voting to elect their new mayor. But that election will no longer happen under the authority of Harris County elections officers.
