Kucinich Loses Suit To Get On Democratic Party Ballot In Texas

By Vince Leibowitz  on Jan 11, 2008 in 2008 Presidential Race, 2008 Texas Elections      

Via Ballot Access News:

On January 11, U.S. District Court Judge Lee Yeakel ruled that Dennis Kucinich was properly excluded from the Texas Democratic presidential primary ballot, because he wouldn’t sign an oath saying he would “fully support” whomever the Democrats eventually nominate for president. Kucinich will probably appeal to the 5th circuit. During the oral argument, the judge expressed the fear that if Kucinich could prevail, that this would cause many more lawsuits to be filed against major political parties in the future.
