HD 82: With Dingus Off The Ballot Against Craddick, What’s Next?
Vince Leibowitz | Apr 16, 2008 | Comments 0
Now that Midland City Councilman Bill Dingus has been declared ineligible for the ballot by a federal judge because he failed to resign his city council seat, one must wonder exactly what is next in HD 82.
The Dallas Morning speculates that Dingus could still be made the nominee by the county chairs in HD 82, which get to select the nominee if one is declared ineligible from the ballot.
Clearly, that would require Dingus to resign from the council. I question, however, if once a candidate has been declared ineligible if he can again be eligible in the same cycle.
