Question for Texas democrats

[ronnykmarshall]

What happened with that "Democrat" congress critter that Bushie boy all but made out with at the State of the Union?

Did he lose the nomination?

[TomInTib]

1. He won by 5000 votes, mostly because of "early votes".

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Shit!

This sucks.

[Cocoa]

2. he won

but may face a runoff, I've heard.

4. Cuellar made it without a runoff. It really sucks.

But we do have a runoff for Al Edwards' seat, another DINO in the state house.

Did you vote in Delays prescient? If so what type of voting machines were used? Thanks in advance.

6. hey, RufusEarl...

I am also a Harris County voter, and we use the eSlate voting system...

[RufusEarl]

7. Thanks, i'm going to assume DeLays district does likewise.

[WestHoustonDem]

8. I'm not in DeLay's district, but have lots of friends

who are, check out the Texas Forum some time http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=180

My preferred candidate didn't win in my congressional district, but I will support his opponent against DeLay lapdog Culberson.

Harris county uses E-Slate machines, which are not touch screen but produce no paper trail. We are working hard to get a VPAT requirement going for them. Part of DeLay's district is in Fort Bend County and some of them were given the option of paper vs. electronic. Again, the Texas forum has more info.

9. Thanks for the info WestHouston, we want a paper trail!
