Texas Primary Date In Doubt
Posted: Jan 27, 2012 7:20 AM



SAN ANTONIO - The fight over newly drawn political maps in Texas shifts from Washington to back home Friday when a separate federal court will discuss whether an April 3 primary can be salvaged.

A three-judge panel in San Antonio cautioned this week that the date only would work if all sides agree on temporary political maps by a Feb. 6 deadline. But that scenario appears unlikely, and the state and minority groups who sued over the original Republican-drawn maps are set to again debate what is realistic.

The uncertainty has revived the potential of a split primary, in which Texas would still hold its presidential primary early as possible to maintain influence in the Republican nomination. Elections officials, however, have testified that doing so would double the costs for cash-strapped counties.

1. Perry should just cancel it and appoint himself lord and savior of the state of Texas

Then Republican would get exactly what they want by mixing government with religion. Maybe open another court where people will instantly find out if they are going to heaven or hell or somewhere in between.

It would be a lot cheaper then Newt's moon base for sure.
