State Supreme Court Denies Two Ballot Challenges
By Vince Leibowitz on Jan 15, 2008 in Notable Court Decisions
The Texas Supreme Court yesterday dismissed two mandamus petitions challenging local Democratic party rulings concerning ballot eligibility.
In one case, the Court denied the motion of some Fort Worth firefighters challenging former City Councilman Wendy Davis’ candidacy under resign-to-run laws, instead essentially dropping the ball back to the regional appellate court.
In the second case, LaRhonda Torry, a challenger to State Rep. Garnet Coleman in Houston, had her mandamus petition dismissed. Torry’s filing was refused by the Harris County Democratic Party because she failed to designate a campaign treasurer at the time she filed.
