BREAKING: Texas federal judge rules that plaintiffs don't have standing, 127,000 ballots will be counted
Judge says plaintiffs didn't articulate a specific injury, which is required for standing.
Even if the plaintiffs did have standing, the judge says he would still count the votes.

He says the tents qualify as structures.
He also says the case is not timely. It's been going on since the summer and at least since September. And people have been voting for a couple of weeks.

(The legal term for this is latches.)
Judge says if he thought that the plaintiffs had standing, he would have enjoined drive-thru voting tomorrow, on Election Day. (He says a tent is not a building, which is required on Election Day.)
Judge says he would not vote drive-thru tomorrow so he could be sure his vote counts.

Orders the county to maintain records of what votes were cast via drive-thru.
