Stagnant Voter Rolls - despite rapid growth in H-town

As our country grows, voter registration in some counties - like Harris County, the nation's third largest - has been surprisingly stagnant.

There's also a lawsuit that was recently filed regarding voter registration issues across Texas and in Galveston County.
