Democrats File Suit To Keep Tom DeLay On The November Ballot
Topics: Political News and commentariesIn another strange twist to the saga of former Congressman Tom DeLay, the Texas Democratic Party has filed suit in an attempt to keep the resigning Delay's name on the November ballot. The suit, filed in Travis County 126th District Court, seeks to undo an hours-old declaration by Republican Party Chair Tina Benkiser that DeLay is ineligible to run in the general election. The suit says that if DeLay doesn't serve as the party's candidate for Congressional District 22, then according to the Texas Election Code, no other candidate is allowed to replace him..
Tricky!! Sounds like something the Dems would try - but if Republicans did the same thing we'd never stop hearing about how voters were denied their rights etc...
