Bitcoin Company Fails to Block Hood County Election: Judge Sides with Residents
A federal judge in Fort Worth denied MARA Holdings’ request to halt an election in Hood County regarding the incorporation of Mitchell Bend as a city. The judge ruled that MARA failed to prove irreparable harm, allowing the election concerning the Bitcoin mine’s noise pollution to proceed. While the incorporation question remains on the ballot, the ruling permits MARA to challenge the election results post-certification, if it is approved. Residents seeking incorporation, to regulate the Bitcoin mine, have stated that they followed state law throughout the process.
