In 2023, Judge Peeples ruled against a Republican effort to overturn some election results in Harris County ([[Houston, Texas|Houston]]). Erin Lunceford, a defeated GOP candidate in a November 2022 judicial race filed a suit seeking a new election. She attributed her defeat to a lack of available ballots and allegations of illegal votes. Peeples' decision came about about after no Republican voters came forward to testify that they were unable to vote because of the problems that Lunceford alleges.
